The following are additional adoption education resources that you may find helpful as you not only prepare for your child to join your family, but also as you parent an internationally adopted child. 

Please note that the views shared within this collection of articles, books, and websites do not necessarily reflect the beliefs and opinions of Dillon International.

Online Resources

Online Adoption Courses - Created by Adoption Learning Partners, these e-learning courses are provided as a public service to the adoption community.  The courses have been designed for families in the adoption process to help prepare them for parenting an internationally adopted child.  Dillon International requires all of its adoptive families to complete the first three courses while waiting for their child to arrive home.

After completing each online course, please apply for a Certificate of Completion and submit a copy of the certificate to your case manager or home study provider.
