The BAF Domestic Adoption
August 2023 Newsletter

From the Desk of Kelly Rourke-Scarry, President and CEO

     Wow… temperatures are barely dropping but we are not stopping.  We are thrilled to bring you the latest updates, heartwarming stories, and important news about creating forever families through this beautiful journey called adoption.

     Can you believe that we are celebrating the births of NINE babies in July, including an adorable set of twins!  So, let’s do what I love to call “the adoption math.”   Nine babies, including a set of twins = eight overjoyed adoptive families that had their long-awaited newborn placed in their arms, eight courageous birthmothers who are now receiving the support they need through the Donna K. Evans Foundation to move forward into their fresh starts, and of course, nine newborns who were given the gift of life and a bright future.  8 + 8 + 9 = 25 LIVES CHANGED!  That is EXACTLY why I call adoption a miracle!

     So, please help us reach out to other vulnerable women experiencing crisis pregnancies.  As you know, locating these women and their unborn babies takes on an urgent tone as the temperatures remain dangerously high.  My cell phone is always on, and we tell women to reach out 24/7.   Please help spread the word – take a moment to print out the flyer and pass it out as you see women in need.  Here is the link.

     As always, I am so grateful that you care deeply about the miracle of adoption and the many lives it changes.

All the best,

Kelly Rourke-Scarry
