UAS Adoption Training

We had the opportunity to attend the Utah Adoption Specialist Adoption Training classes this past weekend. The classes were very enlightening and enriching.  We attended classes on Adoption and the law, Surviving Failed adoptions, Building your Profile, Multiracial Adoptions, Attachment in Adoptions and Open adoptions.    The adoptive parents, birth parents and adoptee panels were extremely important to us as they helped us to gain perspective from the experience of others.  We left this training feeling empowered and more excited about the process of adopting a baby through private adoption.  If you are thinking about adoption or have a loved one that is adopting, I highly recommend this training.  UAS offers it twice a year.







These beautiful women are three of the most awesome caseworkers out of many that work at Utah Adoption Specialist.  (left to right) Lauren, Krystal and Kim.  They are amazing women with nine years experience in this field.  The experience they have gained is not only on a professional level as they have also adopted their own children.  I am so happy to have found these wonderful women and feel like they will be an amazing support to us through this journey.
