Starting Classes, what to expect?

DH and I are starting this journey through Catholic Charities here in Pittsburgh. We went through orientation and in March we will begin our "classes."  What should we expect? There are 3 classes, 3 hours a piece.  Just looking to see what we will be going over.

    Every agency handles their education component differently, as there are no national standards.  Typically, though, the classes will cover how the adoption process works, topics of loss, typical issues in adoption, the ways raising an adopted child can differ from other children, interracial/cross-cultural adoption, and other similar issues.  Since I did international adoption, our educational component also covered a lot on attachment and the transitional phases.
