Independent Adoption Center - Attend an Information Session

Working with the Independent Adoption Center

Fast Track Workshop (Weekend Intensive) - Signing Up

The Fast Track Workshop enables clients to accelerate the adoption process by completing significant portions of the Home Study process.

During the Workshop (two full-day sessions), after signing your contract, you will

attend the Saturday workshop where you will receive detailed adoption-related guidance and education,

receive guidance and coaching (and examples) on how to write your Dear Birthmother letter,

learn the most successful ways of working with IAC to speed up the adoption of your child, and

Northern CA only: complete your Home Study Individual Interviews (counselors conduct separate interviews with each partner).

Once you complete the Fast Track Workshop, you will be a full member of the Independent Adoption Center family with full access to all benefits including free online support groups, IAC's newsletter, and other benefits. In a single weekend, you will be well on your way to adopting your child.
