Update

Another great class tonight. We learned about the internet and how to network yourself throughout your adoption journey. The journey can be long and sometimes hard to be patient. One thing you can do to gain control back while you "wait"...be proactively involved with your search for your children. Just a few ideas that we talked about tonight...

There are a lot of ways to be proactive in your search for children. We encourage you to participate and move your family forward, rather than sit back and wait for things to happen and come to you. You all are always in our prayers and hearts.

Another item of business: Birthmother Day!

Birthmother Day is always the saturday before Mother's Day. Without our sweet birthmothers, it is difficult to be mothers. We feel it is important to honor these angels. This year Birthmother's Day falls on May 9th. This will be our May activity. We encourage all who are involved with FSA, whether you have adopted in the past; whether you are adopting now; or whether you are "Parents-in-Waiting", please join us in our activity.

We have a few ideas for our Birthmothers but we wanted to get a poll on what our adoptive parents (and in waiting) would like to participate in. Remember, this is our way to thank them and show them that we love them.

Option 1: Dinner and a musical program

Option 2: Spa night with games and dessert

I would like to see what people would prefer or what activity would we get more participation with. Please leave a comment at the bottom of this post as to your preference.

Last item of business. To the right of this post you will see in the sidebar, a section titled "Parents-in-Waiting". This is where you can have your blog, or website put as a link to share with others. Just another opportunity to tell others about yourselves...we all are here to help and share.

We love you!
