Our adoption agency didn't really provide much information, a few documents. Our homestudy agency provided 2 days worth of training (required in Colorado). However, 98% of it was geared towards domestic adoption... the birth triad, how the mother feels, making an adoption plan, staying in contact with the family, etc.
It was with the help of this forum (thank you Karen - FH_Angelkisses0102) that REALLY provided me with articles, links and information on the things I should work on, issues we may face (in addition to attachment, we read up on FAS/FAE, sensory issues, learning issues, etc.) I think we are doing very well on attachment (home 11 months), but I continue to read the posts and info and always keep attachment in the back of my mind.
I have talked with my homestudy agency and reccommended additional information and training specific to international adoption and they are trying to incorporate more (most of their adoptions are domestic).
