Is International Adoption for You?

Adoption STAR’s Intern writes about her parent’s decision to adopt internationally and about Adoption STAR’s upcoming workshop – Is International Adoption for you? Tuesday April 2nd, 2013 from 6:00-8:00 pm

Map of North and South America from Jersey City to Santiago ChileAs an international adoptee I would say that choosing international or domestic adoption is one made from the heart, there is no wrong choice, there is the right choice for your family. My parents decided international due to a-million-and-one reasons: love of another Chilean little girl they knew, their age, their circumstances, and their ultimate belief that it is what would be the right fit for their family. I honestly believe I was destined for my parents. I always joked that their birthdays equaled my birthday and that had to be a good sign. It must have been because my family is my family. Adoption is a choice of love. Adoption is a choice per family. Is your heart undecided?

Have you ever thought about International Adoption? Have you ever thought that international adoption may be the way for you to create your family? Then please do think about attending Adoption STAR’s International Adoption Event: Is International Adoption for you?. Come to learn about the country programs offered at Adoption STAR, the children in need of forever families, what it means to be Hague accredited, and the requirements for adopting internationally. This informative meeting will give you a walkthrough of what it would look like to choose an international adoption track. Why not join us for our workshop and see where it leads you? The event will be held from April 2 Tuesday 2013 from 6:00-8:00 pm. It will be held at the Adoption STAR main office: 131 John Muir Drive, Amherst, NY 14228. Please call (716) 639-3900 to RSVP or email [email protected].
