“Much of the work we do focuses on dispelling myths and misconceptions about modern adoption practice. Clearing up these false beliefs and biases gives us a chance to improve the perception of adoption and ensure that providers are prepared to speak with their clients and patients in a comprehensive way about their options, including adoption.”
