To our Extended Foundling Family:

Recently, hundreds of you "came home" to reconnect with The Foundling and with each other. The family and friends who accompanied you, the stories you shared, the warmth that filled the room - all made our 140th Anniversary Homecoming a magical event.

 

Thank you!

For those who were unable to attend - we missed you! But we look forward to connecting with you very soon. If you haven't already done so, please join our on-line community so that The Foundling Family may continue to grow. Once you register, you’ll have the opportunity to view a slide show and share your personal story. Given the remarkable response to our Homecoming, we are already planning future activities for our extended family. We will be certain you are among the first to hear.

 

You Ought To Be In Pictures!

We've posted hundreds of photos from the weekend for you to enjoy! There are three albums - one for each day of the weekend. We hope you enjoy looking through them, recognize a few new friends and download some of the pictures to your personal collection.
