Oregon Post Adoption Resource Center (
www.orparc.org) is an amazing resources for
families parenting post adoption. They have so much to offer and are
funded by the Oregon Department of Human Services.
ORPARC hosts a list of free trainings offered
throughout the State of Oregon, as well as support groups, webinars, and ongoing
classes.
I wish every state had such an
amazing resource.
