Eternal Family Adoptions:
An Adoption Journey for LDS Families

Welcome.

Whether you’ve been navigating infertility for years or were led here by a feeling you can’t quite explain, you’re in the right place.

Adoption is a decision rooted in hope,

but it’s also layered with complexity, questions, and effort.

In the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, family is eternal.

The temple sealing of an adopted child is not symbolic—it’s binding.

It’s a sacred acknowledgment that this child is fully yours, in this life and the next. That understanding can bring peace and strength, especially when the process feels uncertain.

But let’s be honest, adoption isn’t just a spiritual journey.

It’s paperwork, waiting, awkward conversations, unexpected emotions, and logistics. It’s not easy. But it’s also not something you have to figure out alone. That’s why you’re here. That’s why we built this course.
Throughout this journey, you’ll learn about the legal process, the emotional work, the historical context of adoption in the Church, and the ways you can prepare to raise a child with openness, integrity, and compassion.
