Agenda

Birth to 3 providers often come into contact with families who have adopted children with delays or disabilities. The unique issues faced by adoptive families may be complicated and challenging in ways that are different from other families in Birth to 3. What do Birth to 3 providers need to know about these families? Join us to learn about the basics of adoption, to hear stories from families who adopted their children with special needs, and to gain ideas for resources for post-adoption support.
