This webinar is now full. We will announce the next New York & New Jersey Domestic Adoption event soon. Spence-Chapin is committed to helping prospective parents grow their families through adoption within a reasonable time frame and therefore, limits the frequency and capacity of our domestic adoption events in order to balance the number of applicants entering the program.

How to Adopt 3

** We have chosen the Go to Webinar Platform to respect that during the exploration phase, some families are not yet ready to share their hopes to adopt with others and in Go to Webinar, your names and faces will not be visible to other participants. But we are always happy to support families in building an adoption community! If you do feel ready to connect with other pre-adoptive or adoptive parents, please let us know and we can facilitate introductions for those who wish to be connected to other families.**
