Welcome to the Boise FSA Blog

Families Supporting Adoption, an organization sponsored by LDS Family Services, seeks to promote a positive view of adoption. The organization has more than 5, 000 members-including adoptive couples, birth parents, adults who were adopted, and adoption professionals-in chapters throughout the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand. FSA focuses its efforts on three main areas: outreach, media, education and support.

Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine

AND . . . Be sure to check out the "education opportunities" page (link to your right). October education classes are coming up AND they're going to be great AND they'll fulfill some education requirement hours AND I think that's pretty swell AND I'm done running this sentence on AND on.

Boise Open


More FREEBIES!!! Why? It's about love, my friends, and everyone must love us. LDSFS has free tickets to the Boise Open (that's golf--FYI) September 14-20th. Tickets are regularly $70 a pop, so free seems pretty darn awesome to me. Limit two tickets per family and they're good for the entire week. This is on a first-come, first-serve basis folks, so come and get 'em. Easy breezy lemon squeezy.

A Must Read about National Conference

We realize that many of your adoptive couples and birth parents will not be able to travel to Utah for the conference. For this reason, we have set up a broadcast and video stream for the keynote and birth parent panel. In order to view the video stream, please give the URL http://stream.lds.org/LDSFamilyenglish to those interested. They will be able to view this anywhere, as long as they have high speed internet access. It will be streamed on Saturday, August 1st at 9:30 MDT and again at 1:00 MDT. It will also be broadcast to stake centers at the same times. There is no code for this. Also, the week after the conference, we will send DVDs of the keynote and birth parent panel for your upcoming regional conferences and activities. We are taping nine breakout sessions and will make them available on the FSA site as soon as possible.
