Adoption Learning Partners

With Eyes Wide Open

Children's Home Society & Family Services joins Adoption Learning Partners in offering a web-based version of their highly acclaimed program, With Eyes Wide Open: A Preparation Guide to International Adoption.

This course is for parents preparing to adopt an international child. Because you have missed the first year or more of your future child's life, we ask you to come with us on an adventure to reconstruct his or her life experiences.

Using thought-provoking exercises, role playing and guided imagery, this course will help you:

  • Imagine your child's life during the first year, such as the sounds, foods, rituals and relationship with caregiver.
  • Research and prepare for the challenges for you and your child as you transition to home and beyond.
  • Think about and plan for how you will parent your child.

Credit Hours: Variable (determined by your adoption agency)

There are nineteen chapters in the course. We recommend you do one or two chapters per session.
