**Lunch and childcare will be provided on Saturday.
We are encouraging LDSFS volunteers, Birth Parent Families, as well as Adoptive families to attend. We would love for as many people whose lives have been touched by adoption to attend. It will be a great experience and a chance to meet others touched by adoption.
**This conference will count as education credit for new couples hoping to adopt.
***We are needing to get RSVPs pretty quick. We want to make sure we have enough food for everyone for both Friday night's ice cream social as well as Saturday. Please either send us an email or call the LDSFS office at (972) 242-2182. We need to know how many people from your family will be attending and if you will be taking advantage of the child care provided for Saturday. If you are planning on using the child care please let us know how many kiddos you will be bringing with you.
** Hope to see you there!!
Sincerely, Dallas Area FSA

Success!
We just wanted to take the chance to thank everyone who participated in the items drive for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas! They were so grateful for the items we brought in. We ended up bringing in 2 trucks and 2 cars FULL of stuff! It was awesome. What a great opportunity to serve and give back to a place that acts as such a great resource for families and children who are truly in need!
We look forward to seeing many of you at our up coming regional conference on November 6th & 7th! We are so excited about this opportunity! This year we are inviting birth families, adoptive families, as well as volunteers. We are going to be having break off groups on Saturday afternoon with several classes for you to choose from. You don't want to miss this opportunity to reach out and meet others who, like you, have been touched by the miracle of adoption.
This conference will also serve as the education requirements for all couples who are waiting to be approved through LDSFS. This is such a great experience for everyone involved. We look forward to seeing you all there! :)
More details to come soon!
