November is National Adoption Month. The Utah Adoption Council, along with help from the Needs of Children Committee of the Utah Young Lawyers Division, is hosting two events on Saturday, November 3, 2007. Both events will be held at Boondocks in Draper.
The first will be held from 9:30 a.m - 11:00. and is exclusively for families who are interested in adopting an older child. Families must be licensed through the state or close to it. Profiles and photos of waiting children in Utah will be available. Staff from both Utah's Division of Child and Family Services, as well as the Adoption Exchange, will be available to answer questions. More information is available here.
The second event will be held from 11:00 - 1:00 on that same day, also at Boondocks. This event is for everyone to celebrate adoption in general. Further information is available here.
The Needs of Children Committee needs two volunteers for this activity to help set up from 9:00 -11:00 and two volunteers to come at 12:45 to help with the take down. If you are interested in helping, contact David Johnson at davidlj@email.utcourts.gov.
