| Comments | We have an opportunity for you to learn more about adoption! Our Adoption Information Meeting provides an overview of different types of adoption: Domestic, Embryo and Intercountry. Our hope is that if you have been considering adoption, this event will give you enough information to help you decide if adoption is right for you; what type of adoption is best for you and your family; and give you an introduction into the adoption process. It is also a time when you can ask questions that you may have about adoption. Right now we do have a need for more families in both our Domestic and Intercountry programs.
If you’re planning to attend, or have questions, please RSVP at 336.6999. If you can’t make either of these, call to be put on the list for our next meeting or set up a time to meet individually with one of our adoption workers. |
