There were six boxes of toys, clothes and other necessities for our families. On behalf of our families, thank you. ARC continued our Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner this year. We provided full turkey dinners with all the trimmings to three birth families. While you are making your lists and checking them twice, please don't forget to get some photos of your child developed for the birth families.
Holidays can be a difficult time of year for birth families.
When you remember your child's birth family, you give them a sense of peace. Before Thanksgiving, Samantha was feeling a bit blue. However, a package from Gorden and Catherine arrived with gorgeous photos of their daughter. Samantha's mood lifted and her sense that she had given her child a good life was renewed. In October,2000, Amitha Krishnamurthi and Tara Gutterman were asked to give an in-service training to the Interns in the nursery at University of Pennsylvania.
