This program will discuss Professional Standards in Adoption Procedure in Illinois; Types of Adoptions, Standards of Court Procedure, and Foster Care Adoptions; Ethical Issues Related to Birth Parents: Representation and Termination of Parental Rights; Multijurisdictional Professional Re- sponsibilities: Interstate And International Adoptions; and Ethical Issues in Surrogacy and Assisted Reproductive Technology.
