2009: Commitment Counts!
Commitment Counts!, our 20th annual statewide foster care/adoption conference, focused on multiple commitments – from NYS, counties, agencies, caseworkers, and families – to those that they serve and/or care for, in order that children in foster care or who have been adopted can truly thrive. Nationally known speakers and 30 workshop presenters, selected for their knowledge and expertise, reflected on emotional and professional commitments and assisted participants to gain perspective, increase skills, and learn to appreciate the positives.
Additional conference features included a half-day Institute, "Preparing Adoptive Parents," on Thursday afternoon and a showing of the inspiring film, "A Place Between – The Story of an Adoption," on Friday evening.
