July) in Kingston, Ontario for adoptive parents and those hoping to
become adoptive parents .Attendance at this workshop is a requirement

relationships. Misconceptions, misunderstandings, and myths exist
about adoptive parents, birth parents and adoptees as well as the
open adoption process itself. This workshop offers an opportunity

the myths and to provide an opportunity for adoptive parents to
