Happy November! October was a busy month for WISAPSP - we hosted our annual conference (A Place in my Heart) and all the WISAPSP staff also attended the State of Wisconsin Adoption Conference. Along with that, various staff members put in some time at several different conferences across the state. Though the month was busy, it left me feeling incredibly grateful for the role I am privileged to play in our program and the chance to meet, see, and visit with so many of you this past month.
As we transition into November, we turn our focus to recognizing National Adoption Month. In recognition of this month, WISAPSP is once again hosting a panel of adult adoptees to highlight the voices of adoption. If you can attend one thing in November, I encourage you to make it to this event. The experiences and stories shared during this panel are incredibly valuable to us all. I also hope to see some of you attend a webinar with Parent Coach Dana Parisi focusing on Tips for Transitions. Lastly, I also want to highlight the open mic group for teens. This group is specifically designed to be a space for teens from adoptive and guardianship families. During this month, they will likely hear and see a lot about adoption around them and this group is a good place to meet other teens experiencing the world in a similar way. As always, this is just a sample of what WISAPSP is up to this month and quarter. Visit our website for more events!
