Children of All Nations Adoption Blog: November 28, 2012

Hello CAN Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I know I ate way too much, but I did enjoy spending time with my family.  Did anyone have new additions or traditions this year?

CAN has some new additions that we are truly excited to share.  Every month, we have new webinars for families researching adoption and for those families currently in process!  Everyone can benefit from attending and learning just a little more about the adoption world.  CAN will highlight specific regions in a webinar every other week, and we will also have webinars on topics like: “Adoption Myths and FAQs” or “Financial Assistance for Adoptions.”  We hope to inform and educate families as much as possible throughout their adoption journey!

Have you attended a webinar?  What are you waiting for?  View our webinar schedule here.

Also, learn how to connect with CAN through Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest right now!  There are always exciting posts, updates, and families to interact with!

Sincerely,

Happy Thanksgiving!

There is so much to be thankful for, especially in the world of adoption!!  Last weekend, our first Haiti family finally got to bring their child home…I know this will be such a memorable Thanksgiving for them.  What memories and traditions are you making with your kiddos?

With our first child home from Haiti, CAN is so excited to unite more children with their forever families.  If you want to learn more about our Haiti program, check out our website here.  Many of the children available are infants-toddlers or even sibling groups!

I also wanted to share that CAN started a page on Pinterest!  To view our Pinterest page and see all things trending in the adoption world (even ideas for Thanksgiving recipes from your child’s country), you can follow us here!

Hello CAN Families,

It is definitely beginning to feel like Fall here in Texas, and I am extremely excited for Thanksgiving next week!  I’m sure you are all looking forward to having the kiddos home for a few days.  What are you most thankful for this year?

Many of our CAN Africa families have received referrals this month!  I know the children and families are all so thankful to be united soon.   If you are interested in learning more about our CAN programs, check out more information here.

I do have excited families beginning their adoption journey ask interesting questions like, “What do you think about renaming my child? How do I make that decision?”  This is completely up to the family.  Sometimes this can depend on how old the child is and it also might depend on how difficult the child’s name sounds in English.  I recently asked this question on our Facebook page, and our families had some wonderful insight on what made them decide to change their child’s name (or not)!

Sincerely,

Happy Adoption Month!

November is Adoption Month. There are so many exciting things for our families to be thankful for and continue learning. I’d love to share a few Adoption Month events and ideas with you all:

1) Adoption Day is November 17th, and there are events all over the country to celebrate. You can find an event in your area right here!

2) Do you have a Family Tree with GWCA or CAN? Family Tree is a wonderful way to keep your family and friends informed of your adoption journey…especially during Adoption Month! GWCA and CAN families can start their own Family Tree blog here.

3) I think there are some amazing adoption stories and inspirational quotes. Do you have any adoption stories or special quotes to share? Check out our Facebook page and continue sharing all month!

Sincerely,
