Here's what other adoptive families are saying about the “Investing in Your Family” Older Child Adoption Training Program
"A 'plus' during our adoption experience was the “Investing in Your Family” Older Child Training Program in Spokane.Like us, most folks probably cringe at the idea of finding time and making arrangements to attend.And of course there’s the financial aspect ($ ka-ching! $)I know other families agree that it’s definitely a wise investment of resources!!Michelle and Steve were absolutely wonderful. Through them and the other presenters, including their children, we gained valuable information to prepare us to deal with issues that surround the adoption of older children.In addition we felt more prepared to travel.So we felt pretty confident when we traveled to get our kids!"
The Graves Family - New York
Meeting other families who have adopted and hearing their stories was so much more valuable than just reading a book.I appreciated all of the personal stories which helped solidify theories.I now feel this adoption is real, not just a dream, and meeting other families in the same situation was wonderful.We have a support network now!”
The Deets Family - Military family in Senegal, W. Africa
“We just wanted to send a quick note to thank you both for the great job you did with the training over the weekend. Never have we attended a ‘conference’ of this sort that has seemed so much like family. All the details from delivery to/from the airport, yummy Ethiopian food, etc helped make us all feel special and cared for. It was a blessing to be with so many Godly people, passionate about the same topics as us! The literature resource table was helpful, as was the opportunity to learn from and be challenged by the lives of the other attendees.”
The Daubenmier Family, Ohio
“Thank you for sharing so candidly.Your love for the Lord and your children is evident and your passion for adoption is contagious.I am amazed at how well you fed us and at all of the gifts and materials you gave us.Thank you so much!”

“I feel so much more prepared for our adoption, and I’ll take all this information home and share it with family and friends to help prepare them as well.I also was really glad to be with other Christians and see their love and obedience to the Lord in this area.”
