AWAA Seminar

Jason and I recently took on a position with our adoption agency as Associates. This fancy title just means that twice a year we will hold an AWAA Adoption Seminar. We are in charge of finding the location, advertising for the event, finding speaking families and hosting the event. Well we are doing our first one at our local church Grace E.V.Free of La Mirada on Saturday February 19th from 10-12. We would love for you all to come. It is free and we will even provide child care. Just call 1-800-429-3369 to register. We have a family speaking who has adopted two beautiful girls from ethiopia, a family who adopted from Rawanda and Jason will be sharing our journey. I'm very excited to be doing this. I pray that it would be a way to get more people and churches involved in caring for orphans. I have had many people ask how do you find the time. I just do. It is something that is so important and we are hoping with the small compensation we get that we can use that to help others that want to adopt but don't have all the necessary funds. Some people have a passion for running(wish I did :0) some its cooking, or scrap booking. Mine is being a voice for the voiceless. Please consider coming or telling others about this event.

  4. We share the same passion...although I do run! :)

    I would love to learn more about what you do. We started an adoption/foster care ministry in our church last year and have had 3 information seminars where we invite an adoption agency and local foster care system to share and answer questions. Is this something that you all would be willing to come to? I do have AWAA info. in our take home packets we give out to couples that come.
