Making the Most of Your Time in South Africa or Colombia When Adopting

Adopting internationally transforms your life and the life of the child you adopt. How do you make the time you spend together in-country during the adoption process transformative? Why does time together in the birth country matter for a child’s sense of safety and bonding in the transition?

Our team will share about our recent travels to South Africa and Colombia, and will provide insights on how to make the most of your time in South Africa or Colombia when adopting. We’ll be saving time for Q&A and we’re happy to answer questions on the practical and the emotional aspects of preparing to travel to adopt.
