3rd Friday Meeting Tonight

I am looking forward to tonight for a adoption meeting called 3rd Friday. I was able to go last week and meet a few other families that are adopting their children from the same Waiting Child List as Shelby. The meeting is open to anyone who is interested in adoption, has adopted, or is waiting to adopt. There is going to be a great topic tonight about Attachment Disorders, along with a special speaker. Here is the information about the meeting if you want to go:

Ron and Kim Vance will be hosting a monthly adoption open house at their home on the third Friday of each month, which will be for adopting families, waiting families and anyone else interested in adoption. There is no charge, childcare is provided, and light refreshments will be served. Dress is very casual. Please help us spread the word to anyone you think might be interested in attending. Please contact Sue Mathis or Kim Vance, 770-962-2073, for details.

The next meeting at the Vance's home will be on Friday, June 15, 2007, at 7:30pm.
We're excited about the topics lined up for this summer's Third Fridays! We've chosen topics that we think will be helpful to you while you wait. Please make plans to join us.

Friday, June 15 Guest speaker, Barbara Fisher, therapist at the Center for Attachment Disorder
Friday, July 20 Guest speaker, Kay Graap, Author of "Lifebook Writing Guide" Learn how to organize adoption photos and documents, get ideas how to write about your child's early life in China, and turn your child's life story into a readable, fun, and interesting story!

The Third Friday summer series will be held at 7:30pm at Ron and Kim Vance's home. Their address is 1700 President's Drive, Lawrenceville, GA 30043.

I hope to see some familiar faces tonight at the meeting and of course meet some new people as well. Looking forward to a great evening.
