.
Webinar is for personal use only
and is not to be forwarded, shared, or broadcast

This HIV Adoption Audioconference is the follow up to our Paving a Road Home webinar and is available here. While the webinar has been very successful in introducing families and adoption professionals to HIV+ adoption, we know that many individuals have additional questions which we hope to address here.

The conference features a panel of healthcare providers and program staff from the CHIP clinic in Denver, Colorado. CHIP is the pediatric HIV clinic located at the Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado. CHIP’s mission is to lead in the provision of innovative, client-centered care, research and prevention programs that improve the health and quality of life for children, youth, young adults, pregnant women and families living with or affected by HIV, or at risk for HIV infection.
