This conference has been a gift to so many, a gift I would love to see every birthparent in an open adoption experience. The conference is held at the R. A. MacMullan Conference Center, operated by the MI Department of Natural Resources. Located on Higgins Lake, the conference center's facilities are surrounded by the natural beauty of upper Michigan. Bonfires by the lake, walking in woods or sitting by the fireplace are only a part of what this great conference center has to offer. Please indicate on your registration form if you will need this transportation.
Space is limited so register early.
We encourage adoptive parents, support groups and service providers to consider sponsoring birthparents. The gift of The Lifegiver's Festival not only makes a thoughtful gift, but it also provides an excellent and much needed post adoption service. If you are interested in sponsoring a birthparent, please contact Brenda Romanchik. If you are a birthparent in need of a sponsor we encourage you to contact local adoptive parent groups, church groups, your adoption service provider, etc. to request a sponsorship. Contact Brenda Romanchik if you are not able to find a sponsor.
