How Our Adoption U eLearning Videos Can Help New Parents

By Gargi Joshi     

Becoming a parent can be a fantastic experience and a rewarding journey. Starting a family can be filled with love, understanding, laughter, and patience. Understandably, a substantial amount of preparation goes into starting a family. However, preparation looks different for each individual, and depending on your situation, you may need to focus on varying areas. If adoption is a route you are considering, the preparation for this may look different.

Adoption is an excellent option for adoptive parents who can dedicate their love and time to the baby. However, various aspects of the adoption process require attention and careful consideration. It is valid if you feel confused and stressed and want some guidance. More Choices Publications offers various adoption resources to prepare for adoption. Our eLearning adoption guide can help prepare you and set you up for a positive adoption experience. 

AdoptionU eLearning and Baby or Not, Here We Grow

We are dedicated to supporting viewers with information they can access remotely. Our adoption publications can help current and prospective adoptive parents with their journey. Two resources we recommend are our adoptive parent training videos and our Adoption Guide, Baby or Not Here We Grow. 

Our training videos can be accessed through our AdoptionU website. The videos are an online adoption training tool that walks you through various process steps. For example, it will begin with a module on deciding to follow adoption. It will then break down the next steps into cohesive aspects. Some topics include contacting an adoption agency, finding the right educators, pros and cons, etc. Our videos are beneficial in providing you with crucial information designed to improve your understanding of adoption. The adoption process consists of many financial, medical, legal, and emotional processes you must prepare for. The adoption eLearning videos help present the information clearly and concisely. 

Our adoption guide is a guided journal meant for you to fill out. The guided prompts allow you to focus on your energy and emotions throughout the adoption process. Journaling is incredibly beneficial, allowing you to stay present with yourself. You can access your inner thoughts, memories, and emotions differently. Your feelings and stressors are valid, but it can be challenging to hold them in sometimes. Talking to people may also not be feasible or simply feel too vulnerable. Our journal offers a unique way to express your thoughts and possibly learn more about yourself. 

Using Both Adoption Resources Together

The wonderful thing about online resources is how accessible they can be. Pairing both our eLearning training with the guided journal is an amazing way to get the most out of your learning experience. There are several reasons why this pairing can be beneficial, including:

• Gaining perspective in different areas. Our eLearning for parents combined with the written journal format allows you to tap into other perspectives. You will have clear access to and understanding of all that comes with adoption. This, paired with the emotional experience you will gain from our journal, allows for a well-rounded approach to adoption. 
• An enhanced understanding. The information and prompts offered through both resources can illuminate similar topics. This can clarify and reinforce some information that may have been unclear the first time or offer a different perspective. 
• Better engagement overall. The two resources’ format allows people to access what suits them. You may find that learning videos and audio is more beneficial for you. On the contrary, you may find that reading or engaging with writing is more helpful. Either way, both adoption education resources allow you to engage with your strengths in different ways. 
• Covering all areas. One of the most important qualities of the resources is the areas they cover. Both resources cover a wide range of topics. When combining both resources, parents can feel confident and prepared for their journey ahead.

It may feel as though training videos and a guided journal are meant for future situations. However, they can do much more than just offer guidance for the future. They apply to real-life and current situations. Navigating the legal process, fostering a relationship with an adoptive child, and preparing for home studies are some examples.
