A Day for Wednesday's Child

Before I had even graduated I went down to Utah for an interview with a company called The Adoption Exchange.

I was so fortunate and blessed to be offered a position as a Recruitment Specialist with the company not even a week after graduation! 

This job has worked out better than I ever could have imagined!

I am so incredibly thankful.

Just a week into starting at The Adoption Exchange, we held our annual telethon, A Day for Wednesday's Child.

KSL, a news station here in Utah has partnered with us in putting on this telethon, as well as airing a Wednesday's Child segment every other Wednesday on the evening news. 

 

The telethon is nearly a 20-hour event!

I fortunately did not have to be there all day, but I did go after work to answer calls and see what the telethon was all about!

^I was actually on a call when this was taken, hence the crazy-lady look, while Kelli is over there posing like some sort of model ;)

It was so fun to be there while the live packages were being aired.

They adopted the boy on the left after seeing him on one of the previous telethons.

After the prime-time evening news, Kelli and I were able to explore KSL a little bit...

According to Kelli we're ready for a career change :)

I think I agree!

Although that green screen sure doesn't do a whole lot for my complexion... so I think I'll stick with The Adoption Exchange for now :)

It was such a fun day and I loved playing a part in such an important event that raised $50,000 for our company.

The kids we serve really do deserve a loving family, and I love being able to aid in that process.

For Utah's Adoption Exchange, this is Melissa Inkley.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming ;)
