National Adoption Week is November 3-9

Posted by on November 3rd, 2014 Posted in: News From NNLM PNR

Many people look forward to having their own biological children at some point in their lives. However, many find that is not possible for various reasons.  Adoption is another way to become a parent.  It is also a way to gain a parent.  For many adoptees, being welcomed into a loving family is also an event to be anticipated.

MedlinePlus offers a selection of authoritative resources on all things adoption whether it is financial and legal issues or searching for biological relatives.  These resources will offer insight into the option of adoption for those considering or information for adopted families who have additional information needs just as many families do along the way.
