the mother of all adoption events, the ASPCA will make the dogs and cats available through the weekend at the temporary shelter in which the animals have been living in Sanford.
* enabled needy birthparents to attend GED classes; * helped soften the blow
of financial loss in the wake
of disrupted
adoption plans; * assisted with burial costs in cases
of fetal demise; * offered assistance to Abrazo families affected by hurricanes and natural disasters; * sponsored
Mother's Day mailings and our biannual Homecoming
event in honor
of our loving birthmoms; * subsidized unanticipated medical and equipment costs for families with special needs kids; * powered Santa's sleigh for the forwarding
of donated Christmas stockings to indigent families; * sent parents
of special needs kids out on much - needed dinner dates; * provided filled goody - bags for birthfamilies and adoptive families attending agency reunions; * sponsored an in - office wedding for a birthmom and a birthdad who was about to deploy; * offset unexpected legal expenses in contested cases; * subsidized Camp Abrazo costs for disadvantaged attendees; * enabled
adoptions of hard - to - place children;
For these reasons it is important for adopted people searching for their birth
mother to remember that their birth and
adoption may still be a secret from members
of the birth family, even 30, 40 or 50 years after the
event.
