WACAP on the airwaves
9.4.2008
On August 27, Jamie Herlich, WACAP's Eastern Europe regional manager, was a guest on Dawn Davenport’s “Creating a Family” Internet radio show, speaking on trends in Eastern European adoption. If you missed the show, you can still tune in online.
QKids: Meet Jaysin
9.5.2008
A Family for Me is WACAP's
project to help find families for local kids in foster care. These kids are
featured on "QKids" every Monday at 8:45 a.m. on Q13-FOX.
Jaysin will appear on QKids on Monday, Sept. 8. She's an articulate young girl with expressive eyes and a winning smile. Like many preteens, she’s interested in the latest fashions and in trying to look nice. She also has a strong maternal sense from years of looking after her younger brother. Jaysin has a great imagination and loves spending time with her family of stuffed animals. She’s hoping to be the youngest or only child of an active mom and dad who will give her the attention and nurturing she missed in her early years. If you have any questions about A Family for Me or QKids, please call us at 1-800-732-1887 or by e-mail. (For general questions about WACAP and adoption, call 206-575-4550 or 1-800-732-1887.)
Help us pack our bags
These well-traveled suitcases are stuffed with donations for orphans in India
and Thailand. When WACAP's staff members return with empty bags, we'll need
your help filling them up again with new clothes, toiletries, school supplies
and other in-kind donations.
Over the years, we've delivered literally tons of supplies to orphanages this
way. Your gifts can make a world of difference to a child. Check
here for guidelines,
and
how you can help.
Lillian in USA Today

Wondering whether to adopt internationally or domestically, and how the choice may affect your ability to take the adoption tax credit? Read this informative column from USA Today. WACAP CEO Lillian Thogersen is one of the sources for the article. Russia Milk Fund Receives $25,000 Grant
8.18.2008
We're pleased to announce that WACAP has received a $25,000 P&G Live, Learn and Thrive grant from Procter & Gamble to help us expand the Russia Milk Fund. To date, due to financial constraints, Russia Milk Fund support has been limited to only those children with the most acute health problems. But this year, WACAP has committed to bringing this critical program to all the children in the institutions served by the Milk Fund in three Russian regions. Now, thanks to the P&G grant, your donation to the Russia Milk Fund is matched, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000! Please make a gift to the Russia Milk Fund today. Your online donation will be processed through PayPal on a secure server. Or call us at 206-575-4550 to donate. WACAP has worked in Russia since 1993, and has found families for more than 800 Russian children.
Employee of the Month
8.28.2008
Elana Roschy, India adoption manager, is WACAP's Employee of the Month.
For four years, Elana has guided families through the India adoption process with patience, confidence
and professionalism. One of her colleagues gushed,
"Although I hesitate to say that anyone here at WACAP is perfect, Elana comes pretty close."
Added another: "Elana is patient, persistent, level-headed, and caring with her families. Her calm manner is reassuring to both families and WACAP staff who work with her. Elana has a quiet façade, but underneath she has a wonderful sense of humor, and she is a
very strong person."
