Pre-Adoption Seminar for Intercountry Adoption
"The seminar was great, it helped us to understand the process and it certainly put our mind at ease".  
​Prospect adoptive parent
​The adoption process involves prospective parents taking part in the following 3 compulsory educational seminars prior to lodging an Expression of Interest with the Department:

  • Preparation for Adoptive Parenting
  • Attachment & Separation
  • Intercountry Adoption (for those considering Intercountry adoption although we would recommend this seminar for all applicants)

ASFC has been contracted by the Department for Child Protection & Family Support since the late 1980's to  deliver the Intercountry Adoption seminar to prospective parents.

ASFC delivers these seminars quarterly depending on the level of demand.  The next 3 seminars are currently scheduled for:


  • Saturday 6 May
  • Saturday 26 August
  • Saturday 25 November
(Please note, the above dates are only provisional and subject to change.)

This one day seminar covers the following key topics:
  • ​Ethical considerations in Intercountry Adoption
  • Medical background of children and the implications on future development
  • Preparing yourselves and family to become an adoptive family
  • Listening to the voices of the adoptees
  • Integrating another culture into our lives
  • Specific country program information e.g. specific criteria for each country

For more information on these seminars, please email us.
