FREE Adoption Seminars

Christian World Adoption hosts international adoption seminars throughout the country every month. Come learn about the legal process, children available, time involved, costs, financial assistance, the countries, support groups, books, travel requirements, cultural issues, and what to expect when you travel to pick up your child. Seminars are not required, but we encourage our clients and prospective parents to attend if you are within driving distance of our seminar locations. Past adoptive parents are sometimes present to share their stories — and you may get to meet their kids as well! It’s all FREE! Come to learn, and ask questions. Find out why more and more parents have come to trust CWA to help them build their families.

Note: Seating is limited, so register below to reserve your space. Dates and times subject to change. Once you have registered to attend you will be notified if there are any changes in your seminar. Child care is not available, so we request that only adults attend.
