Understanding Infant Adoption: Sunny Ridge offers your organization training funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This training program is called Understanding Infant Adoption. Sunny Ridge partners with Adoptions Unlimited Inc. and Spaulding for Children, and training can be presented in a half-day or full-day format, at our location or yours.
