National Conference is Utah

The National Families Supporting Adoption Conference went on without a hitch. Thanks to the incredible FSA Board members. There were so many classes you could take as a waiting adoptive couple, parenting, birth parent and just thinking about it over the two day conference.

Brandon Doman, BYU Quarterback couch, was the Keynote Speaker for the conference. He did an amazing job discussing how adoption filled his home both before marriage and in his own home now. He shared many personal stories about how all four of his children came into their home. Each adoption story was unique in how their children were placed.

One of his main points was to share with everyone you are hoping to adopt. The two middle children came into their home by word of mouth. The first and last were birth parent picks through adoption agencies.

Make sure you are trying to FIND your child, not just WAIT for your child to come to you. Be as proactive in finding your child for your family.
