Becoming a Parent with Spina Bifida: Adoption
Many adults with Spina Bifida would like to be parents, but for a number of them, having a biological child is simply not an option. Should they consider adopting instead? This webinar features Kelly Peterson, a woman with Spina Bifida who is in the process of adopting a baby girl (who also happens to have Spina Bifida), and Jennifer Kelly, Medical Director, Agency Coordinator, and Media Coordinator for Special Angels Adoption. Kelly discusses her experiences during her adoption journey, and Jennifer discusses the adoption process and provides important suggestions and guidance.
