Tomorrow, Feb. 5, at 9 pm (EST), Carolina Hope is offering a live online adoption education course about openness in adoption. Here’s the write-up from the course page:

We often hear that families who are considering a domestic adoption are afraid of an “open” adoption. In this 1-and-a-half-hour course, you will learn what an open adoption is, the possible benefits of openness, and when communication with birthparents is appropriate. By increasing your awareness of what openness is — and by being “open” to openness — you will probably increase the likelihood of having a successful adoption — and parenting — experience.

This webinar is presented by Laura Beauvais-Godwin, Carolina Hope’s director and co-author of The Complete Adoption Book. Laura is the adoptive mother of two daughters.

Participating in the course requires an internet connection and phone connection. The cost is $15. More information is available at the course page.
