Events & Calendars
Plan to participate Every year, I wish I had the time and money to attend
every adoption-related event but, of course, it isn't possible and I have to pick and choose. Thankfully, the Net has broadened our ability to find events and schedules in order to plan our own calendars. (Note: Many major conferences make tapes and/or written materials available after the conclusion of the event, for a fee.)
We aren't all fortunate enough to be able to attend many, or even any, adoption events. If you do participate in any event, I encourage you to share your notes or impressions with others. One way to do that is to
submit them here to the site for possible publication.
