Nixon recognized for adoption awareness efforts
November 14, 2007 At its annual conference in Columbia on Nov. 14, the statewide Adoption and Foster Care Coalition recognized Attorney General Jay Nixon for his efforts to promote adoption. The coalition presented Nixon with an award for his office's work in producing "Welcome Home," a free consumer publication that describes the legal, financial and emotional aspects of adopting a child in Missouri.
A statewide team of adoption experts provided assistance to the Attorney General's Office in producing the booklet, which was first printed in July. Since that time, nearly 3,000 of the full-color booklets have been distributed at no charge.
