Because They Waited

My adoption agency, like most all I'm sure, require 10 hours minimum of pre-adoption education.
Initially I assumed that meant reading books on adoption, etc.  And goodness, I have spent many, many hours researching online and reading books on the subject.
But then I found out what they really mean is, there is a 10 hour online course entitled Because They Waited.
It is done through Heart of the Matter seminars.

The course is interesting because it is Hague compliant and they send you a certificate of completion once you have finished the course.  So I purchased it online this morning.  $150.  Not too bad of a price.  Hopefully they will send our password soon and I can get started on it.

Here are a few of the courses in the package:


  • Promoting healthy brain development

  • Sensory processing and sensory integration

  • Parenting to a child's "real age" vs. chronological age

  • Understanding the internal alarm

  • Building attachment

  • Race and Culture



  • I'll let you know how it goes!
    Have any of you completed your 10 hours?  What did you do?
