Record Attendance at Training!

September 11th we had the privilege of offering our training to new people in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Working with the generous people at the Gladney Center for Adoption in Fort Worth we reached a record number of people at one time.







Here are just a few things that made our adoption training special:

• We encouraged and equipped 42 people in a single session!
• We reached representatives from 4 pregnancy care centers
• We touched representatives from 3 different adoption agencies
  

Group introductions in Mabee Hall at the Gladney Center for Adoption

The day was full of life, laughter and learning. You can imagine the great interaction with all of the participants. The practice counseling was truly fantastic with novices attempting adoption conversations for the first time and long-time pros illustrating their strengths to the group.

Here is a sample of comments from the evaluations taken at the conclusion of the day:

• "(The training was) informative and held my interest. The time went very quickly and nothing dragged"
• "I enjoyed the whole day. Very well planned and organized"
• "Very concise and full of helpful info right at your fingertips"
• "The speaker was dynamic - kept my attention and very informative"
• "(What I liked most about the training was) making the connection between spiritual and physical adoption"
• "(What I liked most about the training was the) interaction with other advocates and agencies"

A special thank you goes out to Jennifer Lanter and her team from the Gladney Center who truly went the extra mile to provide not only a lovely facility but delicious food as well. What a marvelous picture of the Body of Christ working together to advance adoption!

We are pleased to announce we will be returning to Gladney to host another adoption training Thursday, October 30. For more details and to register please visit our website .
