Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010 (1-5 pm at Northern Hills Church - 3703 N Loop 1604 E)
There are literally hundreds of thousands of children who are orphaned around the world just waiting for forever families. Some wait due to Child Protective Services intervention, others wait due to overwhelming poverty and hardship in their country. Regardless of the reason, they wait ~ hoping that someone will open their home and heart to them.
The Fourth Annual San Antonio Adoption Fair will host foster care and adoption agencies from across the nation on Saturday, January 23rd from 1-5 p.m. at Northern Hills Church to assist potential parents as they begin the process of adoption. There will be information on domestic, international, CPS adoption and foster care. We will have an adoptive-families panel (parents, children and adult adoptees) to discuss adoption experiences and answer any questions guests may have. “The Heart Gallery” will also display portraits of foster children who are legally available for adoption. In addition, guest speakers will highlight topics on legal rights, the home study process, the various types of adoptions available, and other adoption related topics.
This free event is a community awareness project of Adoption Priorities, Inc. It is API's desire and mission to assist families who are seeking adoption information or who are seriously considering changing the life of a child forever.
