Sharing Adoption with Every Woman You See – Regardless of Her Stance

sharing at training boothWhen presenting pregnancy options, it is imperative to include accurate and up-to-date information on modern adoption with every woman you counsel – regardless of her situation, feelings, or background. Providing clear, accurate knowledge about modern adoption helps women make informed and thoughtful pregnancy decisions.

At Lifetime Adoption Agency, we offer the experience, resources, and compassionate support you need to confidently present adoption as an option every time.

Serving birth parents and adoptive families nationwide, our team provides valuable training and materials to equip you with the skills to share adoption clearly and compassionately.

As one professional shared, “It’s simple, yet we often overthink how the conversation should go.”

We are here to help you understand modern adoption and to empower you to communicate this option with ease.

Adoption may not be the right choice for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, but every woman benefits from knowing her options – regardless. Whether the information helps her plan for her child or support a friend, honest information about adoption is a gift.

“My team and I want to express our gratitude for your time and training. We all agree that this was one of the best adoption trainings we have received. The information you shared was clear and relevant to the work we do here. We enjoyed that the information was all focused towards what and how we can share it with clients. The outline was well organized and helpful.”

Jhaneth

Open Arms Pregnancy Clinic, Northridge, CA

“Thank you so much for such an informative training! I appreciated all of your anecdotal stories and helpful tips for speaking with clients. Your background as an adoptive Mom and as a client advocate for a pregnancy center, as well as your faith in Jesus makes you the perfect person to help us to present this option to mothers. Yes, you are right, as soon as they are pregnant, they are a Mom. My favorite thing that you said was to tell her, “Dream as big as you can,” what a wonderful way to get her to be thinking and dreaming of the future. God bless you for the work that you do and thank you again!”

Is This Training Right For Me?

pregnant-woman-talking-to-professionalIf you’ve ever found it difficult to talk about adoption during a pregnancy options conversation, you’re not alone. Most healthcare professionals have had a conversation like this:

“Have you considered adoption as an option for your pregnancy?”
“I could never give my baby away!”

And just like that, the conversation stops. The topic was mentioned, but the woman in front of you hasn’t truly been informed. Her response shows a common misunderstanding – she doesn’t realize what modern adoption looks like today.

Modern adoption is not about giving a baby away. It’s about the expectant mom creating a thoughtful, personalized plan that reflects her hopes for her child’s future. But for many professionals, explaining this can feel intimidating – especially after hearing a firm “no” or sensing hesitation from a client.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “My clients aren’t interested in adoption.”
  • “She’s married—she doesn’t need to hear about adoption.”
  • “I don’t feel confident talking about modern adoption.”
  • “Adoption should only come up if she brings it up first.”
  • “Everyone already knows what adoption is like.”

… then this training is for you.

We’ll help you feel comfortable, informed, and equipped to include adoption in your conversations – so every woman can make a truly informed decision about her pregnancy.In this short video, Barbara Saba, the Executive Director of Valley Pregnancy Center, provides feedback on Lifetime’s training:

“I think this training was very valuable.
It really deepened our understanding and I have shared a lot of what was shared in the session with others.
We really appreciate your support and expertise.”

“Diana, I wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for the training you did today. It truly exceeded our expectations. I wish you could have seen the faces in the audience because they were listening to every word and many were taking notes. You have such a personal warmth across a video conference which is truly a gift and the information you provided was invaluable.
Our volunteers were singing your praises :-). They really felt they have the information to plant those seeds. Who knows how many lives will be saved by your teaching…..but God knows.
Thank you again.”

How does Lifetime Adoption Training work?

Lifetime Adoption training webinar logo We provide live, personalized adoption training via webinar for your team. You can easily schedule a session using the calendar above, or feel free to call or email us with your preferred dates. Trainings range from 45 to 90 minutes and are tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization.

You might be wondering:

  “We’ve already had adoption training—why would we need more?”

Ongoing training is key for professionals who work with expectant mothers. It helps your team feel confident and well-equipped to present adoption as a compassionate, modern option among pregnancy choices.

For organizations that use volunteers in options counseling or those receiving Title X funding, staying up to date on current adoption practices is essential. Your staff can’t provide accurate, informed support unless they clearly understand what adoption looks like today.

“Hello! You are such a blessing! First of all, thank you for your time and devotion to such a beautiful alternative. And you are equipping these for service to share with others who may not know what to do and may otherwise choose a path that may bring regrets and sorrow. I learn something new every time you give a presentation. After you got off the line, the ladies started sharing their own stories. Wow, they were so quiet while you talked- tentative listeners. But after, it all came out. We had a great discussion time. Thank you once again for depositing your wisdom for adoption and life.
May the Lord richly bless you and your family.”

Cathy

“Thank you so much for your presentation last week on modern adoptions. It was very well received. We want to equip our moms with all the information possible so they can make the best decisions for them. Thanks!”
