PHILADELPH­IA, PA— Adoptions From The Heart (AFTH) invites you to participat­e in our virtual fundraisin­g event, Heart-to-Heart with Birth Parents. This event will support birth parents by providing a forum to speak about their personal experience­s while raising money for the Expecting and Birth Parents Funds.

The virtual event will be on Zoom on Wednesday, August 25, 2021 from 7:00 p.m. 8:30 p.m. Amanda Aliberti, a social worker from AFTH, will cohost the event along with Se'Ayra, an AFTH birth mother. The event will focus on four birth mothers, giving them a safe space to share their adoption stories and experience­s.

There is no cost for this event, but the goal is to raise $1,000 for the Expecting and Birth Parent Fund. A 50/50 raffle will provide money to two lucky participan­ts. Half will go to the raffle winner and the other half to one of AFTH's birth mother speakers.

About Adoptions From The Heart

Adoptions From The Heart (AFTH) was founded in 1985 by Maxine Chalker, a social worker and fellow adoptee. Like many children born and placed for adoption during the 1950s, Maxine grew up with little informatio­n about her birth parents. It was Maxine's dream to give adoption a new face by breaking down the barriers and taking some of the mystery out of the adoption process. AFTH is a nonprofit organizati­on whose mission is to provide a safe, loving home for children and offer comprehens­ive, high-quality services to adoptive families, birth parents, and children. The agency is licensed in PA, NJ, DE, CT, VA, and NY.
