Adoption 101

Adoption Support Alliance is offering an informative course led by co-founder & Executive Director, Erin Nasmyth, LCSW and adoptive parent & Associate Director, Molly Mayhoff, for anyone considering growing their family through adoption. Get help navigating the decisions that the process requires, hear from parents who have recently completed an adoption and meet others who are getting started. 

​

Topics covered include the logistics of the domestic & international adoption process (including the home study process, post-placement requirements and the laws governing the processes) as well as things to consider when starting your adoption journey (grief & trauma, race & culture and birth family relationships).

​

Please complete the registration form below. This class will be meeting virtually and we will share Zoom information the week of class. 

The cost of this class is $100.  However, thanks to our generous donors, we are offering this class as "pay as you can".  So, $100 covers your registration, more willl offset the costs of others and less will be covered by ASA donors.  Payment can be made via PayPal link on our website, Venmo (@adoptionsupport), Zelle (erin@adoptionsupportalliance.org) or by writing a check to "Adoption Support Alliance" and mailing it to 1501 East 7th Street, Unit 6 Charlotte, NC 28204.  Registration is due one week prior to class, August 28th. 

We will need a minimum of three families to register in order to hold the class.  If we do not have enough participation, your payment will be refunded fully.  If more than one person is attending from a family (i.e. two partners who will co-parent), only one registration is required.
