Friends of Adoption is excited to announce a new fall conference for 2009 - Journey of a Lifetime. It will take place on October 3rd at the Metropolis Hotel in Eau Claire. Keynote speaker Patricia Dischler will share her inspirational story as a birthmother and part of a successful open adoption in the morning, and teach adoption parenting ideas in the afternoon. It is sure to be a wonderful event, one we expect to touch hearts and change families, as so often happens when we share and learn from one another's life experiences. Registration is only $25/person or $40 for a couple, including lunch.
Mark your calendar now and plan to bring a sitter for the kids as they can enjoy the attached CHAOS water park or nearby Action City while you enjoy the conference. The first 10 non-professional registrants will receive one FREE pass to the waterpark, so sign up soon!
Email Christy to request a brochure and registration form!

International Families Picnic - Chippewa Falls
If you have adopted internationally and live in the Western Wisconsin area, we have a wonderful opportunity coming up this summer for you! On Sunday, July 12th from 11:30-2:30 at Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls, we will be holding an International Families Picnic at the main pavilion. We will provide hot dogs, drinks, and utensils -- families can just bring themselves and a dish to share. We will plan to eat lunch right around 12:30.
There are many activities to enjoy at Irvine - a playground right by the pavilion, a small zoo, and a fun water fountain perfect for kids to cool off in! Not to mention the camaraderie of getting to know other families who share the international adoption experience.
If your family plans to attend OR if you have any questions, please email me (Christy) at creppe@cclse or call 715-832-6644 ext. 19. This will help us know how many hot dogs we need to plan on!
As an added bonus, we have Jen Schultz from Genesis Photography (who happens to also be an international adoptive mom) offering a WONDERFUL deal for Friends of Adoption families with a mini photo shoot! The details are below. Please check out her website for a taste of her photography, and call her at the number listed below to reserve a time slot for your child or family! I can not say enough good things about her work -- it is really extraordinary, and I hope many of you will take this opportunity to experience it for yourself.

Save the Dates for Spring
We know...it's not even Christmas yet and here we are telling you to mark your calendars for spring! There are two events taking place the weekend of April 24 -25. These will be well worth saving the dates...
The first is our annual Friends of Adoption Spring Retreat! This will take place on Saturday at the Lodge at Cedar Creek Resort & Waterpark in Wausau, WI (you can arrive and stay over night on Friday). Those of you who have attended in the past know what a fun time this is for kids and adults alike. If you can make it, you will be glad you did.
If you only have one day to work with, mark Saturday the 25th on your calendar for a one-day seminar in Eau Claire entitled "The 7 Wonders of the World of Adoption." This seminar is put on bi-annually by Western Wisconsin Advocates for Adoption.
More details on both events will be coming in February!
