Whose adoptive family is that in the congressman’s office?
by Ron Huxley on November 23, 2009
It could be yours! Help Voice for Adoption in their annual Portrait Project by sponsoring the project, encourage members of congress to get involved, identify adoptive families to feature and sending in your photo. See contact info at end of article.
This fall, Voice for Adoption will again conduct our Adoptive
Family Portrait Project to celebrate adoption and raise awareness about the experiences of families that
adopt waiting children from foster care. This year’s project
will focus on the importance of sibling connections for youth who are adopted from foster care. Please join us for this exciting project! |
Participating members of Congress will display a photo of a constituent family
that has adopted children from foster care. We will also provide
each participating Congressional office with information about
the family’s adoption experience and how federal child welfare
programs have affected the family. This project is a great and simple way for members of Congress to show their commitment to finding permanent families for all waiting children –all you have to do is sign up for the project and VFA will match your office with an adoptive family to feature. |
