National Adoption Month!!

November is National Adoption Month (NAM)! Gladney will be giving tips throughout the month about how to spread the positives about adoption and specific ways you can get involved with Gladney. You can also visit orphansunday.org for more information about Orphan Sunday on November 7th.

Text NAM to 43648 to receive ideas on how to get involved. Msg & data rates may apply. Text HELP for help, STOP to stop.


Visit Gladney's facebook page and click on the NAM tab to see more tips as the month goes on!

In other news, The International Adoption Webinar has been updated to include information about Costa Rica!  Watch and share it with a friend! http://bit.ly/cpT3lp


Big projects for me over the last few weeks have included consolidating contacts for the New York office, working on a postcard, and learning about different events taking place for NAM.

Coming in once a week is a little crazy so I am really looking forward to being able to come to Gladney more often starting in January!
