Each night, hundreds of children right here in Mid-Florida go to sleep at night dreaming of their forever family. As they wait in foster, group or kinship care, they lack the security of a permanent home and the stability of permanent, nurturing parents. "163"- is the number of adoptions that were finalized in our Mid-Florida Division last year. 163 children were given hope, new dreams, and a forever family to call their own. To celebrate the many forever families brought together through adoption, and to raise awareness for the thousands of children still waiting, Children's Home Society of Florida is hosting Celebrate Adoption! Join us to skate, dance, sing, eat and celebrate one thing... adoption! At this FREE family friendly event, children and their families will be able to come together to enjoy skating, music, food, and to meet with local community members and organizations who will be available to provide information about all different forms of adoption. We would love to see you and your family at this one-of-a-kind event where the community comes together to recognize the power of adoption and family.
