What trainees are saying ...
As an adoptive parent, options counselor, MSW student, and adoption traininer, I thought I knew a lot about adoption. I could not believe how much I have gotten out of this program. And I am so excited to see other professionals who are ambivalent about adoption start really considering it and talking about it with their clients.
