November is Adoption Month here on Birchwood Isle!
Most children arriving at Birchwood Isle are sent to one of three group foster homes: New Beginnings (children aged 4-12), Second Chances (teens aged 13-18) or Phillips House (teen parents aged up to 20, with their children). Each of these children is hoping that one day, a forever family will come and take them away from the foster care system. While they are being cared for well in their group homes on Birchwood Isle, they all dream of something more permanent, a family that will be theirs when they grow older and have families of their own.
Some months will feature adoption events. This month, in honor of the American Adoption Awareness month of November, we are celebrating adoption with a Fall Festival at the football stadium at Birchwood Isle High School. All foster children over the age of 8 will be given an allowance for games, rides, and food, and are encouraged to explore without leaving the stadium.
Adults from the community who are willing or wanting to adopt should attend the festival and speak with the children they meet. Parents should bring their children, as adoption is a family affair and not an act that an adult should inflict on a child.
Stay tuned to our Birchwood Isle Roleplay Guides Tumblr account for guides to interacting at adoption events, as this could make or break your opportunity to get your character (or inner kid) adopted by loving forever parents!
If you want to be involved in the November Adoption Event, you'll need to join us at Birchwood Isle!
