This coming Sunday, May 11, the Renaissance Austin Hotel is hosting and funding a special "Salute to Foster/Adoptive Moms." The event will include brunch and a special program that honors moms who make unique contributions through adoptive and foster parenthood.

"This year's event brings a new perspective with a focus on the mother's personal needs for self rejuvenation and relaxation. The 12 moms who have been invited with their families will receive a gift bag of cosmetics, donated by Saks Fifth Avenue."

The hotel is also providing a masseuse for neck and shoulder massages, and a photographer to take family portraits. Source: PR Web

November is National Adoption Month; a great time not only to give thanks for family, but consider opening your home to someone who has no family. Nationwide, there are over 114,000 children in foster care - waiting for a permanent home.

"You could be the refuge of a temporary home, or become their new family through becoming an adoptive parent. Adoption can also be a wonderful answer to infertility or an unwanted pregnancy."

So many children are waiting for permanent, stable homes. Adoption may not be for everyone, but even offering your house as a temporary home would be a tremendous blessing to many of these kids.
