Adoption Events coming your way!


We need your help with the Birth Parent's Day Celebration.  Each year FSA works with LDS Family Services to hold a Birth Parent's Day Celebration near Mother's Day.  "Mother's Day is a particularly difficult day for a girl or guy who has placed a baby", indicated Connie Mason, Adoption Manager of Sandy LDSFS.  "The goal is to plan a nice evening where the birth mothers and birth fathers feel remembered and honored."  Those who have placed in the past 2-3 years as well as those currently members of the expectant/birth parent group are invited to an evening of dinner, speakers, music and gifts.  This year's celebration will be held on Thursday, May 5th.

1) Celebrating Adoption With Michael McLean event, held May 6th in Bountiful. This is a free event put on by FSA. For more information and to register for your tickets, visit the website: http://celebratingadoption.eventbrite.com/ . This should be a fun and entertaining night, plus a great opportunity to get to know others in the world of adoption.
2) Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 14th as well for our Annual Birth Mother and Adoption Celebration Walk. This will be held at the Provo High School Track and is a fun event for the whole family. You are welcome to bring friends, family, neighbors, whoever. Some things to look forward to: fire trucks, Cosmo from BYU, and lots of fun races/games. This is sponsored by the Provo FSA chapter. I have been the past two years and have always really enjoyed the experience. The festivities begin at 10 am.
