Sunny Ridge Family Center is licensed as a child welfare agency by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (#019976), and by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Family and Children, as a child placing agency.

 

Dear Educator,

Sunny Ridge offers you the opportunity to request a speaker from our agency to offer information on The Option of Adoption. More and more educators are turning to us for information, and the feedback we received from last year tells us these presentations are most beneficial to students and teachers.

These comprehensive presentations cover a large amount of information on adoption, and are presented by our social workers, adoptive parents and birth moms in your area. Our speakers generally share some of their personal experiences and stories regarding open adoption. 

Our presentation can be tailored to meet the needs of your curriculum. We also offer you the opportunity to show our video, In Their Own Words, to your class, preferably the day prior to the speaker's presentation. The seven-minute video features birth moms discussing their decision to place their baby for adoption.

In order to better assist us with planning speaking assignments for this year, please let us know of your interest by completing our on-line request form

Sincerely,

Becky MacDougall
Director of Domestic Adoptions
