    Think Before You Post: Digital Stewardship in International Adoption

    Course Description

    Think Before You Post: Digital Stewardship in International Adoption explores how social media, online communities, and digital sharing can impact international adoption journeys, child privacy, and family trust. Designed for prospective adoptive parents and caregivers, this course offers a calm, practical, and child-centered approach to navigating online spaces thoughtfully during the adoption process.


    Through real-world scenarios, reflective activities, and practical guidance, learners will explore how posts can travel beyond intended audiences, why consistency and discretion matter in international adoption, and how to protect a child’s story with dignity and cultural respect. Rather than encouraging fear or perfection, this course empowers families to engage online in ways that support connection while safeguarding privacy, trust, and long-term well-being.


    Participants will leave with practical tools for making thoughtful online decisions that honor both their child’s future autonomy and the relationships involved in international adoption.
