There's no guidebook to adoption... until now. 
Introducing All About Adoption

A comprehensive, step-by-step course designed to give you the answers

and clarity you need to navigate the adoption process.

At Adoption & Beyond, we’ve spent nearly three decades helping families adopt children into loving homes. 

We know the adoption process inside and out, but when families come to us, they often feel confused, emotional, and overwhelmed. 


All About Adoption is your comprehensive guide to the entire adoption process, from those critical first steps, all the way to submitting your application. 

Inside All About Adoption we cover:

The ins and outs of domestic adoption 

Best practices and importance of attachment and bonding

Guidance for post-placement and finalizing your adoption 

Plus dozens of bonus resources, checklists, and trainings

We can’t promise a stress-free journey, but with All About Adoption we can arm you with the resources you need to feel empowered and confident every step of the way.
You deserve a clear process and a compassionate guide to adoption.
We created All About Adoption to give you exactly that.

Meet Your Instructor

I'm Steffany, and I founded Adoption & Beyond, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in 1998. I, along with each member of our staff, have been both personally and professionally impacted by adoption, and many of us have been through the home study process ourselves. 


As a non-profit, child-placing agency, we work diligently to uphold ethical values and transparency in everything we do, while always keeping the child's best interests at heart. We created the All About Adoption course to help families overcome the overwhelm and get their journeys started on the right foot.
