Happy Back to School! We would love to see your best back-to-school photos! Send your favorites and we will post them in next month's newsletter. And as you prepare for adoption to be a part of your child's classroom, we ask that you would share this awesome article from Adoptive Families with your teachers and administrators. Here's to another great school year!

MAA is off to the Philippines Diana Bramble and Katie Schultz traveled to the Philippines this past weekend for the Global Consultation on Child Welfare Services. MAA will be partnering with ICAB to better identify the specific needs of children in intercountry adoption. In their free time, Diana and Katie will be visiting orphanages and soaking in the culture. We look forward to their return and the knowledge they will impart. Safe travels, Diana and Katie!

Madison Adoption Associates is proud to announce that we are reaccredited in Colombia! And the cherry on top, all of the Colombia hosting children have been matched and their future forever families have begun the paper chase to get their children home as soon as possible! This is a true testimony to the hosting process and its success. We hope any families who were not able to host due to your location will consider our Reverse Hosting program and join us in February 2020 as we travel to Colombia to forever change the hearts and lives of these children.
