Orphans In Our Backyard: Foster Care For Kids in Virginia

Christy and I have learned that in Virginia over five thousand children are in the foster care system. And 1,300 of them are legally free to be adopted; they are ready and waiting for a family to call their own. To help you learn about the opportunity of fostering, sign up for Change Who Waits, a free two hour event on Saturday, May 11, 2013.



Hear from current foster parents about the joys and pains of foster parenting, and stories from people that grew up in the foster care system. Be inspired and informed about the process to become foster parents. And connect with several foster care agencies that will be present and explore how to start the process of changing the future of these children.

What: Change Who Waits Foster Care Rally

When: Saturday, May 11, 2013, 10 am to 12 pm

Where:
 Cherrydale Baptist Church in Arlington.

Interested, But Can't Make It May 11?

An additional rally will be held in Chantilly at nZone on June 9, 3-5 pm. If you decide to attend one of these rallies, let us know! We hope to go too.

UPDATE– The Chantilly rally has been postponed till November 2013 for National Adoption Month. It will not be held in June as originally planned.
