Fun at the Fair
Thanks to everyone who helped staff the booth at the fair. We even had some help from the Colton Chapter. I can't think of a better way to spend 4th of July weekend: beautiful San Diego weather, great people watching, eating deep fried smores, and promoting adoption all at the same time!

Meet Me At The Fair
We are very excited that FSA will have an information booth at the San Diego Fair THIS WEEKEND (July 2nd-3rd.) Our booth will be located at the infield pavilion (behind the grandstand and across the infield bridge.) Our booth will be staffed by adoptive parents who have adopted through LDSFS, a foster to adopt agency, and an attorney. We will have a wealth of information to help all members of the adoption triad and friends of adoption. If you will be at the fair this weekend, be sure to stop by and say, "Hi!."
