GETTING STARTED
Once you feel that you’re ready to begin your journey toward adoption, you'll need to attend our family training.
This 3-day Adoptive Parent Training is a requirement for approval as an adoptive family. Applicants must attend all three full days. Trainings are held twice a year in Northeast Ohio and twice a year in Columbus, Ohio. Registration is open for our Fall Training that will take place October 18-20, 2024, in Stow, OH. Please email the completed registration form to Samantha at samantha@openarmsadopt.com. Payment is due at the time of registration to hold your spot in training. Please email Samantha with any questions.
At Open Arms Adoptions, we know that the adoption process can be very overwhelming.
Our goal is to provide clear and transparent information and to answer all of your questions. Our experienced and compassionate staff is here to support you throughout your entire journey—training, homestudy, match, placement and beyond.
