via Teams
Conducted solely in Portuguese.
he A.dot Adoptive Parent Training is a program conducted monthly, with exceptions during the winter recess and end-of-year festivities. It is offered free of charge, aiming to fulfill a requirement of the Brazilian justice system, which demands proof of parental training in the adoption approval processes.
To receive a certificate valid in the eyes of the law, participants must meet certain prerequisites, such as attending meetings with their cameras on. This condition ensures interaction and engagement throughout the course, facilitating the learning process and the achievement of the proposed objectives.
The certificate issued at the end of the course verifies participation and completion of the training required by law, enabling participants to proceed with their adoption or custody processes within legal requirements.

Certificate Issuance
Certificates for the A.dot Parent Preparation program are issued immediately after the meeting concludes. To ensure the certificate is issued, participants must keep their camera on for the entire session and complete a self-declaration confirming this condition.
Unfortunately, if the camera was not kept on throughout the event, the certificate cannot be issued. We kindly ask for everyone's cooperation in following this guideline to fully benefit from the program.
