Many people who are interested in adoption want to know how to get started – my first suggestion is to do what you can to get to the Arise Adoption Conference that takes place every year. Next is to get in touch with an adoption agency, private social worker or Child Welfare. We are HUGE fans of Wandisa Adoption Agency and have used them for all three of our adoptions and can’t recommend them enough, but here is a list of other options for you to explore:
