Adoption Learning Partners, founded by The Cradle, seeks to improve adoption outcomes for all members of the adoption circle by providing a vibrant, innovative, educational resource on the Internet.
The vision of Adoption Learning Partners is to offer highly valuable, timely, web-based educational resources for adoptive parents, adopted individuals, birth parents and the families that love them.
We included the word Partners in our name because we are partnering with other major adoption resources and experts to develop and offer course content that is meaningful for each of our users.
We will offer an array of interactive, e-learning courses that will increase each person's understanding of the joys and challenges of adoption.
One of the most important features of Adoption Learning Partners is that it is there when you need it. The courses can help prepare people for becoming an adoptive family, or help adoptive families with growing children gain new skills to help them talk about adoption. Or, when an adopted person or birth parent is contemplating a search, they can turn to Adoption Learning Partners for guidance.
Access to information is a cornerstone of Adoption Learning Partners. Our courses are designed for people who may live far away from knowledgeable, experienced adoption resources, or for those who time is limited because of the demands of work and family schedules.
Adoption Learning Partners will serve as a resource for social service professionals, equipping them with the training and tools they need to prepare adoptive families and counsel people around post-adoption issues. Our courses will help social service professionals to meet a variety of new and ongoing training requirements set forth by federal and state governments and professional licensing associations.
We invite you to check back often for new course offerings, moderated chat rooms, book reviews and more!
