Meet Me in San Francisco?
I have been asked more than once if I will be going to the San Francisco this April for the AAC conference. Every year I do want to go, and this year is no exception, However, wanting to go is sadly not the same as being able to go. The last time I was able to attend was in 2007 and I can say it was a wonderful conference that I do highly recommend. As I have said many times before there is something special that happens when you can talk freely to others and everyone in AdoptionLand should seek out the community at one point and time in the journey.
This year, however, I have been honored with one of the scholarships given by the AAC (and with the application miraculously appearing in my email box on the very last day of applying which I quickly did even though it was late in the evening. I know when not to look gift horses in the mouth! HUGE thanks to the little bird who sent it on it’s way to me!) and so, with the conference fees waived, I shall manage to get myself to San Francisco!
