DePelchin Childrens Center

I emailed the DePelchin Children's Center and got a great response..see below:

This sounds like a fabulous project and a worthy endeavor! We are honored to be asked to participate. And I think at least on some scale, we will certainly be able to be involved. Of course, we have issues of privacy for our foster kids and other clients often, so I would like to make sure we discuss this a little more to make sure privacy issues are taken care of, but other than that, I think this will work.

I’m going to talk to a few of our program managers here and see which kids/clients would be best for this. One quick question for you is how many kids would you be looking at photographing? This will help me to know which groups to include in my discussion.

Thanks again! I look forward to a great outcome and a bunch of smiling photographed faces!

If we are interested in working with DePelchin, I think we should invite them to our meeting. Also, anyone have any advice for some of the questions she has posed?

Great information. I called Ms Jackson at 832-273-1070, just a few minutes ago to arrange the scouting of the location for best portraits.

Here is the information that was sent over from DePelchin. Important info to read so that we will know what is expected of us when working with them.

Hi Susie and Kevin,

I don't know if I can make it, but I will help pass the word about this. Thanks!

I work at DePelchin, with adoptive families. November 21 is National Adoption Day, and there are a variety of area celebrations. It would be really cool if someone were interested in doing family portraits.

I'm interested in this - when on the 21st would it be? My two kids are adopted...

Anyone have any ideas about something we could do with the kids to keep them occupied? Za'ndra, the contact at the center said "maybe you all could make winter arts and crafts or holiday cards to give to others?" They are going to be having a holiday party in the morning, so we could continue with the festivities.

We could always do coloring pages of a camera, Help-portrait logo, Christmas themes. Let me think some more. I'm sure we can come up with something fun for the kiddos.

Yeah I have some Christmas stamps and stickers too. A bulk pack of cardstock squares and they can make some cards or something creative.

It looks the DePelchin group is a no go. They have activities planned for them all day now. They have asked if anyone would be available on the 19th. If anyone is available, let me know.
