FSA Co-Chairs


Well, most people know that we have been working with our local FSA; families supporting adoption, group here in Nevada for the entire time that we have been approved and waiting for our adoption. We have loved the experience and enjoyed the events and the activities and met lots of great people. All that being said, just this past weekend the couple that was heading the group up called us and said that we were going to make some changes in the organization and they felt that WE should be the ones running the group. WHAT? Us, running it?! They must have lost their minds. Dan and I aren't ready to do this. We are so not the people to be in charge. We have not been placed with yet. We definitely don't have all the answers, and never will. What in the world were they thinking.

So after telling them that we would have to think about if for a few days for sure. We called them back and talked to them again, and again, and decided that we really do enjoy the work and hope to learn and grow and honestly just hope to not screw up what they have done and accepted the challenge. So here we are.... the new co-chairs of Nevada FSA! Wish us luck. We sort of have a rough outline of what we are going to be working on for the year, but that always changes as the year goes along. We have a great committee and that is what we will so be couting on during our time as the co-chairs. Our first big obstacle is coming soon..... Next weekend we have a Conference that we are putting on for waiting couples.

Aranne, I can't think of two more perfect people to co-chair! I don't think anybody feels prepared for something like that but I know you and Dan will do a great job.

That's great! It's so gratifying to donate your time to a non-profit. Especially to one that you're passionate about! I'm sure you'll both do an excellent job.
