Babies of all races and cultures are available for adoption.  A New Beginning works with local birth parents as well as other reputable, licensed agencies around the United States.

Training Requirements:

We believe that adoption is a lifelong journey.  Our desire is to equip and prepare our adoptive families for this journey.  Because of this we require 5 hours of training but provide additional education opportunities as well. 

Infant Adoption Awareness Class:   This class is taught by two licensed social workers and a birth mother.  Class participants will learn about openness in adoption, adoption expenses, agency adoptions vs. private adoptions, and trans-cultural adoption.  The class includes a panel of birth parents, adoptees, and adoptive parents.
