Adoption Workshops & Trainings

Life-Long Learning Institute
Open Arms' Life-Long Learning Institute was launched in 2008 thanks to a generous gift from the Rosenberg Family Fund.  The Institute offers enlightening workshops and events for all those touched by adoption.  As adoption is an ever-changing and evolving process for all involved, Open Arms provides adoptive families, birth families, interested community members and professionals with a forum to learn, share and belong.
