Madison Adoption Associates attends

"Adoption Meet & Greet" at

LPA Annual Convention

Margaret & Spears

Margaret Bonella and Sara Lang were delighted to travel to Washington, DC for the Little People of America 2013 Convention. It was LPA's first year to feature an Adoption Meet & Greet for families who have adopted or are interested in adopting. We were thrilled to see clients, Michael & Holly, at the event (pictured above with Margaret).

After the Meet & Greet, we were invited to stay for the LPA Talent Show. What an amazing treat - from singers and dancers, to cup song performances and martial arts demonstrations - so many talented people!

Fred

DOB: June 5, 2008

Fred is an intelligent, cute little guy whose special need is that his fingers and toes are webbed. His mobility is not affected by this condition - he dances to jazz music and loves to perform. He is in Kindergarten where music is his favorite subject. This smart boy can write 1-10 and counts orally to 100. The nannies call him brilliant! He did say one thing in English without prompting: "bye bye". His bathroom habits are normal and he is an average boy except for those cute little fingers and toes. One day he would like to be a policeman. He likes to watch TV - loves cartoons and movies. He plays with puzzles and other toys with his friends. He lives at the center with 4 boys in his room and one caregiver. WE LOVE THIS CHILD!!

Check out the videos we took with Fred during our recent visit to China:
