CHI on the March ...
Our CHI Chicago-area families once again
marched in the Des Plaines Fourth of July parade. It was a chance to
celebrate the holiday with good old fashioned fun while showing off
the joys of international adoption.
We plan to do it again next year. Anyone have a trailer or flatbed
for a float? Email
Mary.House@ChildrensHope.net
with ideas!

celebration.

a Couple of Anglers
...
True a-fishy-anados will notice that Alina Jayne Baird and her daddy,
Matthew, used the coveted pink and purple princess pole to snag
this beauty.
The Bairds live in Riga, Michigan.

That was then....
Aidan Denison was a CHI newsletter cover
boy in 2005.
His eyes were bluer than blue and his cheeks just invited pinching.
This is now.....
Aidan just gets handsomer every year.
Here he is going off to Montessori school near his Chicago home.
Keep on growing, Aidan!

 Tell
your story!
In Honor of
CAFFA's 35th Anniversary, We Celebrate You!
We are pleased to announce plans for a very special two-part
edition of /The CAFFA Connection/. To commemorate our 35th
anniversary, our fall issue will be comprised of /your stories,
poems, anecdotes, and vignettes/ in honor of November's Adoption
Awareness month.
We believe that each of you has an important tale to share,
whether you are toying with the idea of adoption, waiting on The
Call, or already parenting. Perhaps you are a professional in
the adoptive area -- how did you choose your line of work? Your
story has the chance to make an impact... to speak to others...
touch hearts... make someone laugh... or to simply tell a good
story.
