One day earlier this summer, Zoe went and got the mail as usual. When she handed it to me, I found myself holding a brochure saying Nancy Thomas (author of "When Love is Not Enough - A Guide to Parenting Children with RAD") would be speaking in Newton, Iowa, on September 21 & 22, 2012.
Nancy Thomas speaking in Newton, Iowa - one hour from my home? $75 (if you register before August 21st) for two full days of training? I felt like I won the lottery.
In case you haven't picked up on this from my blog, without Jesus, Jen Summers and Nancy Thomas, we would not have survived the past nine months, nor be seeing the healing and progress we are seeing in our kids.
Jason and I have already registered and are planning to attend.
Who is coming with us?!?!
We would LOVE for others to go with us. If you are planning to adopt or foster, if you have already adopted or are doing foster care or if you want to actively support those who have adopted and/or are fostering, I highly encourage you to go. This is not just for parents who are or may be dealing with RAD. I believe her parenting principles apply to parenting all kids from hard places. There are many things from her book/DVDs that I wish I would have known about before our kids came home.
Having this big of a resource this close to us for this reasonable amount of money is a rarity, I assure you. Please email me for more information and I can send you the brochure (I got permission from the person in charge of registration).
