Confidently Share Adoption with Every Woman You See
If you are involved in counseling or discussing pregnancy options, it’s important to include adoption as part of the conversation with every woman you meet. Without accurate information about modern adoption, women cannot make a fully informed decision.
At Lifetime Adoption, we provide the experience, resources, and guidance you need to confidently introduce adoption as an option – compassionately and clearly, every time.
Lifetime works nationwide to assist expectant parents and adoptive families through the adoption process and to build greater awareness and education of modern-day adoption practices. With tools, training, and tips provided by caring adoption professionals, you’ll feel equipped to discuss adoption with ease.
“It’s so simple, and yet I think we have a tendency to overthink what the conversation should look like.”
We’re here to help you understand modern adoption and empower you to communicate the option with clarity and compassion. While adoption may not be the right path for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, every woman deserves to understand the choices available to her. Whether she’s making an adoption plan for her baby or supporting someone else through an unplanned pregnancy, knowing the truth about adoption matters.

Is This Training Right For You?
Many healthcare professionals have had a similar experience when bringing up adoption with a patient. It often goes something 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 comes to an abrupt halt. The topic was mentioned, the patient declined, and the discussion is ready to move on. But in reality, the woman sitting in front of you hasn’t been fully informed about all her options. Her response suggests a misunderstanding of what modern adoption truly looks like.
Modern adoptions are not about “giving a baby away.” Instead, women create personalized, thoughtful adoption plans – choosing the family, level of contact, and the future they envision for their child. Despite this, many professionals still find it challenging to share this perspective – especially after hearing a statement like, “I could never give my baby away.”
If you’ve ever thought:
- My clients aren’t interested in adoption.
- She’s married – adoption doesn’t apply to her.
- I don’t feel equipped to talk about modern adoption.
- Adoption should only be discussed if she brings it up.
- Everyone already knows what adoption is like today.
Then, this training was designed with you in mind.
In this short video, Barbara Saba, the Executive Director of Valley Pregnancy Center, provides feedback on Lifetime’s training:
Great job Diana!! 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 toward what and how we can share it with clients. The outline was well organized and helpful.”
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, Tracey
How does Lifetime Adoption Training work?
Lifetime offers live webinar training sessions tailored for your team. Scheduling is simple – just call, send an email with your preferred dates, or go to Lifetime’s training calendar. We offer flexible training options ranging from 45 to 90 minutes, based on your specific needs.
Why Do We Need More Adoption Training?
Even if your team has received adoption training in the past, ongoing education is essential. Adoption practices evolve, and so do the needs of the women you serve. Continued training from professionals who work directly with expectant mothers builds your team’s confidence and equips them to accurately and compassionately present all pregnancy options.
For organizations using volunteers or those receiving Title X funds, updated training is especially important. If your team isn’t fully informed about what adoption looks like today, it’s impossible to ensure that your clients are.
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
“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.”
“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!”
