is a support group for families who adopt children from other countries. We provide information and support to people considering international adoption, beginning the process, or waiting for their child. We hold monthly meetings regarding the physical and emotional health of institutionalized children, and dealing with the paperwork. We welcome returning families or arriving children at the airport.

International Banquet and Show on November 15
Saturday, November 15 starting at 6:00 pm. Plaster Student Union Ballroom at Southwest Missiouri State University
The annual International Banquet and Show at Missouri State University is simply the best multi-cultural event in Springfield, and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy your child’s culture and many others. You can befriend young people from your child’s homeland.
The students prepare a delicious banquet of traditional dishes from their countries, then put on an evening of entertainment: fashion shows, dance, singing, acrobatics, and other traditional performances from their country.
As the wait for the meal is lengthy, and the wait for the performance to begin is even longer, this event is not recommended for young children unless you know they can handle these waits well.
General Admission $18.00 wth tickets being available at the AIS ticket booth, Plaster Student Union 2nd floor, 10am - 3pm or the Office of Student Activities, PSU 101, 9am - 5pm.
