Anyone considering opening their home through hosting, student exchange or adoption may find the prospectof experience both exciting and overwhelming. Penny Collins, Adoption Director at Adoption Partners of Maine, will lead an educational discussion on adoption, the differences between adoption and hosting, and factors families should consider before undertaking a hosting program or adoption process. Collins will also provide related Maine resources.

She will be available to speak with those interested in student exchange programs and answer questions regarding the challenges of hosting students from other cultures.
