Info Guides - Adoption and seminar idea

I find the guides helpful. They help by giving the nuts and bolts of a topic simply and directly.

The one on adoption shows you may need guidance from many places to find  a biological parent or child. It would be great if the library could host a seminar which brings some of these groups together. Some people find the search hard and heart wrenching.
