"Seeking Justice"

Orphan Care Conference

Saturday, August 13, 2011
9:00a - 12:00p
First Family Church
317 SE Magazine Road

Ankeny, Iowa

Keynote speaker: Johnny Carr National Director of Church Partnerships for Bethany Christian Services

The conference also includes breakout sessions with adoption and foster care experts, orphan care advocates and an adoptive family panel for Q&A and support. (Jason and I will be part of the adoptive family panel.)

This conference is such a great opportunity because it is right in our backyard and it is FREE! I hope many of you can attend.

Adoption Info Meeting

Want to know more about the adoption process, reputable adoption agencies, how to finance an adoption and more? Come to an adoption info meeting this Sunday at Cornerstone Church (The Box) at 11:00am. Jason and I will be sharing as much information as we can. Also, several families who have adopted or are in the process will be there to talk to.

I think there are many people out there who have interest in adoption, but the thought of acting on that interest is incredibly scary, even paralyzing. I've been there!There is so much to think about: Domestic or interanational? What agency? What age(s)? What race? What country? What health issues? How much will this cost? The list goes on and on.

The purpose of this meeting is to just come and get more information. I hope you will join us and/or pass the word onto others.

One Step Closer

We finally received the approvals we have been waiting for. The finish line is in sight!
