Celebrating Adoption is FUN - we’re not clowning around!

National Council For Adoption will return to the Big Apple on Sunday, November 23, 2003, for a day of family fun to kick off National Adoption Week at Kids at Heart 2003.

We will feature marvelous circus performers, including a ringmaster, acrobat, juggler, and clowns. And the kids can play a variety of carnival and arcade games, have their faces painted, make their own ice cream sundaes, or participate in the auction and raffle. And they’ll receive 'goody bags' filled with toys and treats.

Many children and families who will have just finalized their adoptions the day before, as part of National Adoption Day, will join us. The fun festival will take place at the historic Puck Building in New York City from 1 – 4 p.m.; please contact Megan Lott at 703/299-6633 ext. 104 for ticket information and additional details (click here for more information). We hope to see you there!

"The purpose of Kids at Heart is to celebrate adoption and to help the thousands of children around this country and the world who desperately want one thing: a loving, permanent home - For over twenty years, the National Council For Adoption has helped build happy families and I am proud to be a part of their work."
- Dr. Leslie Gruss, Chairperson of Kids at Heart 2002
