Family to Family has ongoing fundraisers throughout the year for our organization. The Annual Calendar and The Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Program are just a couple. But sometimes we have families that want to help the agency in different ways. This past weekend I attended a birthday party for one of our adopted children who turned one year old. The adoptive family had a birthday party with an Under the Sea theme. The adoptive family asked the guests to bring all of their spare change and fill fish bowls at the party. All of the money collected will be donated to Family to Family. What a cool idea! A huge thank you to this family for thinking of us. If you would like to help Family to Family with fundraising please contact our agency.
Adoption Learning Partners is offering a webinar on September 15, 2010 called “Is That My Birth Mom on Facebook?”
Interested in learning more about the webinar visit the Adoption Learning Partners website. Adoption Learning Partners also offers various courses of training regarding adoption. If you are a Family to Family adoptive family, these courses and webinars can count towards your required hours of training. Contact us to find out how. The training on adoption topics can help you through your adoption journey and help you decide if adoption is right for you.
We have just posted our events coming up in August, October and November to our Events and Schedules page.
These events include two adoptive family trainings and our always popular annual family picnic. Be sure to check the schedule for dates and times, as well as location information with maps to help you find it if you are not familiar with the area.
We have pictures available from our 2006 Family Picnic at the Oil Ranch in Hockley, Texas if you would like to see what a good time was had by all who attended! We hope to see you all there!
On Sunday July 25, 2010, a church in our area reserved a space and brought in lunch for our birthmothers. The birthmothers spent several hours doing craft projects and talking to the small group members from the church. They also were presented with gift cards to local stores and restaurants. Each of our birthmothers had positive comments about their afternoon and was very appreciative.
Family to Family would like to thank Grace Methodist Church in Katy for their time and thoughtfulness. Our staff and our birthmothers appreciate their support.
