Families exploring adoption can find information and guidance at two upcoming events.
Our Lady of the Chesapeake, Lake Shore, will hold its second annual Adoption Fair Sept. 14, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. A dozen agencies will be on site; workshop topics include infant adoption; international adoption, legal aspects and birthparent services.
“We had over 80 couples last year,” said Joyce Heid, one of the organizers, “and we’re hoping for more this year.”
