Through words and pictures, your child will explore who they are and where they come from. Our staff will guide and support your family as we work together to honor your child’s history. We'll provide all the materials your child needs to create their Lifebook, which they'll fill with stickers, drawings, family photos, and adoption mementos.

Practical & Emotional Prep for a Family Journey
Heritage Trip Planning "101" - is toolkit to plan your family's birth country visit. We cover emotional preparation and practical considerations and help you make your dream trip a reality! 
PRIDE (Parent Resources for Information, Development and Education) is a nationally recognized training model used for families who are interested in adopting an older child from the foster care system. Classes are held at our office in Bethesda over a period of four Saturday's from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The dates are March 30th, April 13th, May 4th, and May 11th. Families have the opportunity to learn about adoption from the foster care system and to better understand the needs of children who are being placed through Project Wait No Longer (PWNL). Training is a requirement for all families pursuing adoption through the foster care system, but it is also a learning experience so you can have a better understanding of what your new child has been through and how to best meet their needs.
Many families use the training experience to confirm their commitment to adopting a child with a history of trauma. It also provides the opportunity to build relationships with other families who are adopting from the foster care system and to build relationships with PWNLstaff. Two highlights from the training include hearing from a family who has adopted through PWNL and a presentation from PWNL's Placement Coordinator on the matching process.
