Together for Adoption Conference
Posted by Todd Engstrom in adoption on August 4, 2009

Both my wife and I are planning on attending the Together for Adoption Conference 2009 in October.
If we have a group of four or more from The Austin Stone attend, then we are eligible to receive a group discount. Anyone from The Stone interested? Drop me a comment and I’ll connect with you.
Also drop me a comment if you will be there…I’d love to connect!
