What is adoption outreach? It is actively building a network of connections that can further your search for a match with expectant parents. This is a great description given by Joanna Ivey in her new book “The Essential Guide To Adoption Outreach.” The book is a must have for anyone hoping to adopt. Joanna and her team have created an amazing resource that will help you put together an adoption outreach plan and strategy. Adoption outreach is so important because there are more people wanting to adopt than expectant women who are making adoption plans for their baby. So you want to let as many people as you can know about your desire to adopt. You never know who will help make the connection between you and an expectant mother. In this episode, you’ll hear Joanna share stories, tips and other great information about adoption outreach. I am sure that you will be inspired to work on your outreach plan so you can adopt faster.
