CPR Certification for Adoptive Parents
We have received many questions recently regarding the new requirements pertaining to certification in Infant CPR for adoptive parents.
The 2 year Heart Saver certification offered through the American Heart Association is the credential required by DCFS for domestic and international adoption.
The class, labeled "HS" on our schedule, covers procedures for adults, children, and infants and will specifically certify you in CPR for children & infants. It is not a "general" or "generic" certification.
Currently, only the CPR component is required by law. First Aid is offered immediately after the CPR class if you would like to take both. First Aid is recommended but is not a requirement by DCFS.
This Heart Saver class can be offered privately to individuals, couples or families if your prefer. Older siblings are welcome to participate in private classes.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the class or the requirements.
Thank you!
