Hello all, just a quick reminder:

We've been asked to work on a research project to gather information about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered families seeking to adopt children for the foster care system. Part of this is collecting information from you, the families that are currently going through the process or have completed an adoption. This information will be used to develop cultural guides to improve LGBT knowledge, awareness and sensitivity for professionals.

We're needing at least 5 families, more if possible to attend the focus group on Monday June 14th from 6:00PM - 7:30PM at our office in Seattle (600 Stewart Street - corner of 6th & Stewart). 

Have you seen the Families Like Ours Family Video?  It's a montage of several families we've worked with over the years and we have shared it many times in many settings. 

It's a great comprehensive look at the diversity of the parents and children who's lives have become enmeshed in a web of love and caring through fostering and adoption.  It's a great testament to the truth that love truly can conquer all. 

So here's the deal. We'd like to update our family video and need your content to do so.  If you have some clear photos of your family, send them to content@familieslikeours.org.   

If you would like to share other content such as your family's story, a short video hosted somewhere like youtube.com, related content from other sites, a relative anecdote, original artwork or ideas for future stories you like to see us produce, please send it to content@familieslikeours.org as well.

We look forward to learning more about your family!

Adoption and Foster care touches all of our lives.  Help us celebrate some positive moments!
