Adoption Day Bears

The Foundation provides Adoption day bears to those children appearing in Court to finalize an adoption. Adoption is the happiest law to practice but to the children the court room experience may be a bit overwhelming.  The Foundation is dedicated to making the day just a little less scary.  Each family is provided with a soft furry friend to hold and squeeze as the process unfolds.  The room is full of smiles as the Judge formalizes the legal status of the family.  This even has been funded over the last many years by a generous donation made originally by Delores Conners of Pilgrim title but is now carried on by her daughter, Joyce Kirschner. It has become a regular event for the foundation each year and one we hope to be able to continue for many years to come.
