Need Help with Financial Planning and Special Needs Trusts?

If you are in the Kansas City are, or Las Vegas area, you are in luck. There is a wonderful organization called Special Needs Planning Center. Here's an excerpt from their website www.specialneedskc.com. They recently put on a seminar at my son's former school, the Lee Ann Britain Infant Development Center located at the Shawnee Mission Medical Center.

Special Needs Planning Center Blog To Distribute Information to Parents


Over the last five years The Special Needs Planning Center has been providing nearly 60 free educational workshops per year for parents of children with special needs. The goal has been to educate parents on the different issues that affect their children with special needs from their first IEP to planning for their care after the parents are gone.

In an effort to add to this and to allow The Center to provide more widespread education we are creating a new Special Needs Planning Center Blog. The new blog will be updated on two Monday's each month and provide parents access to updated regulations, planning tips and other valuable resources.

We'd also like to extend the invitation to parents and other providers to contribute. If you have topics you'd like to post and information you believe other parents will benefit from please submit the information via email to Heath at hburch@specialneedskc.com.

You can visit the blog and check for updates at www.specialneedsplanning.blogspot.com
Please contact us anytime with ideas, tips and resources we can provide to other parents.

Prayer Warriors

I'm a prayer warrior, and I'm so excited about it! What is a prayer warrior? It is someone that signs up with www.reecesrainbow.com, who wants to say prayers for adoptive children awaiting homes with their forever families. This is something easy to do when you cannot adopt a child, but want to help out in some way! All you do is sign up and you are matched with a child, and they send you information in the mail, along with a picture of your child. My child happens to be in Eastern Europe, and she has the same name as my deceased mother, Claudia! When I found out the child's name was Claudia, I knew that I was doing this for God's glory! There are no coincidences where God is concerned! Everything happens for a reason. So please join me in saying prayers for this little girl, so she can find her forever home.

Claudia (30)

Girl Born March 5, 2004

SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!!

Claudia is a beautiful little girl with long brown hair and brown eyes. She wasn't real keen on saying "cheese" in her photo, but she is well loved and a happy girl. She was born with an oval window, but it may have closed on it's own. Claudia is very active and playful, high functioning, has many words, and is doing very well.

We are hopeful a family will come forward for Miss Claudia!

Contact Andrea directly for more information

I have $50 in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption!
