What are your favorite adoption books and why? I'm working on a listiing for an online writing site and I'd love your thoughts.

We’re counting down to Forever Families Weekend 2010! With a little over six weeks to go, we have a terrific mix of new and returning families, and we hope you will decide to join us, too. Remember that this year kids attend FREE of charge and prices for adults remain the same as 2009 at $250 per adult for the entire weekend.

New and exciting workshops and facilitators for this year include:
- Maris Blechner, Executive Director of Family Focus Adoption Services in NY, who will be joined by her adult daughter, Laura. Born in Korea, Laura will share her firsthand experience as a transracially-adopted Jewish woman.
- Rabbi Lina Zerbarini, who returns to Forever Families Weekend for a second year, and who will be co-facilitating a workshop on LGBT Jewish Adoptive Families
- TiP-ToP SHAPE workshops for children and parents – how to raise emotionally resilient children who are ready and willing to advocate for themselves and for adoption

Back by popular demand:
- Our campwide scavenger hunt (have you been following me on Twitter? I’ve occasionally tweeted clues to this year’s items!)
- Bonfire and s’mores (no rain this year….I hope!)
- Havdalah under the Stars

….and much more!

You can register online or print out a registration form at http://www.njycamps.org/families/html/reservations.html.
