I was introduced to this organization through a friend while we were volunteering for a cancer research charity. After learning about the beginnings of the organization, and the incredible impact the organization has on so many families and children, and the impact that has on society I was really moved. Add to that meeting and gettng to know several of the dedicated, and tirelessly hard-working employees and volunteers, I found the organization to be totally inspiring and have been a donor ever since. Go AASK!
It's been over 7 years (9/6/06) that our three boys moved in with us. Without AASK, our parenting experience would be totally different. The staff are genuine in their desire to help children in the foster care system find their their forever homes. We have been supported by the agency since our orientation and still continue to have them as a resource. Parenting has it's challenges all of which are overshadowed by the rewards. I am thankful for Adopt A Special Kid and the role they play in my life and the lives of my children!
If you have ever considered adoption as an option to create your family - I urge you to come to an orientation and learn how you can enrich you life through parenting.
