Dillon’s International Adoption Seminars:

Why are these seminars so important?

Dillon's International Adoption Seminar is a comprehensive seminar addressing the needs and adjustments of newly adopted children and their adoptive families. Each seminar accounts for six (6) certified Hague Adoption Education hours of pre-adoption education for adoptive families in process.

Dillon International staff will present information and answer questions concerning the care of children who will be joining the family through international adoption. Participants will explore topics including attachment, grief and loss, the impact of institutionalization on child development, becoming a multiracial family, keeping children connected to their heritage and talking to their child about adoption.

You will also have the opportunity to hear from other adoptive families who will share their personal adoption stories.

Fees:
$145/married couple
$110/single applicant

For Dillon Families:
