Managing and Supporting Employees Pursuing Adoption

Family formation through adoption, for all of its rewards, can also be a time-consuming and emotionally draining process. Robust adoption benefits go far toward mitigating these challenges, but individuals who are seeking to adopt may still need additional support and flexibility from their employers. In this webinar, NCFA offers a training process for managers and human resource professionals on strategies for best supporting and retaining employees, before, during, and after the adoption process. The speakers will outline what a helpful adoption benefits package looks like, as well as practical ways to offer employees the flexibility they need to successfully complete an adoption. The speakers will also highlight the multitude of benefits to organizations that support family formation through adoption.

Understanding Grief, Loss & Trauma in Adoption
As you consider the possibility of becoming a parent through adoption, it is critical to become educated about and equipped for the unique needs of your future child, and your experiences as an adoptive family. We strongly recommend that all prospective adoptive parents, regardless of the type of adoption you pursue, be proactive in preparing for the lifelong journey of adoption by learning about trauma, loss, grief, attachment, and other core adoption-related issues.
