The National Training and Development Curriculum (NTDC) is based on research and input from experts; families who have experience with fostering or adopting children; and former foster and adoptive youth, including adult adoptees.
From the beginning, the material was made to be relevant for private domestic and intercountry adoption, and can even be used to meet many of the federal requirements for Hague-compliant adoptions.
It provides potential adoptive parents with the information and tools needed to parent a child who has experienced trauma, separation, and loss. It is a state-of-the-art classroom and online program that helps to prepare prospective adoptive parents to be successful parents.
In addition, the NTDC gives parents access to information and resources needed to continue building skills once they have a child in their home. This curriculum and the accompanying resources are FREE for agencies and their families.
