Are you an unmarried mother exploring the option of legally adopting your child? AWARE is teaming up with Eden Law Corporation to conduct training on the procedures of legally adopting your child, specially for unmarried mothers and those with children born outside of marriage. Learn directly from family lawyer June Lim, who will take you through the adoption process, and discuss the benefits and limitations of adoption. You’ll get a chance to understand the ins and outs of the system, what adoption means for your family, and be better able to mentally prepare for what’s ahead. Two single mothers who have successfully adopted their own children will also be sharing their experiences of the process.
