I love neighborhood newspapers. The Park Bugle serves the St. Anthony Park, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, and Como Park areas of St. Paul, Minnesota The September issue I picked up this week carried an article with joyous news of importance to many people. It concerns the families of children adopted through two organizations located here in Minnesota.
The Children's Home Society is celebrating 125 years of service. It has joined with Lutheran Social Services in a celebration being billed jointly as “Family Reunion: Celebrating 275 Years of Adoption.” The event takes place on Sunday, September 21st.
One special part the article states is "Everyone is
welcome, but organizers are issuing a special invitation to
families and
descendants of the estimated 46,000 children who have been adopted
through the two organizations since Lutheran Social Services opened in
1865. They’ve set up a special website www.adoption275.org for adoptees and their loved ones to “Share Your Story” through photos, memorabilia and memories.
Read more about the two organizations, their history, and more about adoption in Minnesota http://www.parkbugle.org/family-reunion/.
Please share this notice with others who may have a connection to the children adopted via these organizations. The stories need to be shared.
