It's o-FISH-al: The Heart Behind Our Adoption Party


A host of scenarios may occur when a child is removed from his or her home. Too often, older children spend time sleeping in CPS offices due to there not being enough foster homes willing to work with school-age and older youth. Maybe children are removed suddenly from their homes in the middle of the night with no obvious place to go until a foster home can be acquired in the morning. When these types of scenarios occur (along with a host of others), there need to be clothes, hygiene items, shoes, blankets, and other items available to these children. This is what Rainbow Rooms are for. Rainbow Rooms are typically located in CPS offices (To find a Rainbow Room in your region in Texas visit here). These Rainbow Rooms allow workers the opportunity to get the necessary items for children in crisis situations (A list of most-needed items can be found here). We asked our guests to bring as many items from the list as they wanted... and they did not disappoint! These items have been donated to our local Rainbow Room.
I heard about another adoptive family who did something similar and was inspired to do it on our own. It is my hope that you are inspired in even the smallest way by this post, and maybe find some ideas for yourself.
