The day they met is one they will always remember. “The first time Lisa saw Keyveon, she had tears in her eyes,” said Amrita Raju, our Adoption Expeditor, recalling how Lisa took off her sunglasses to wipe her eyes. Lisa, who had come with Kent to Central Park to spend some time getting to know Keyveon, remembers, “I bent down to meet him and he said, ‘I’m kind of shy.’ I told him, ‘That’s ok – I’m shy too.’ I took his hand and by the time we got to the bottom of the park, I was convinced that he was my child.” Lisa and Kent had first learned of Keyveon through the New York Council on Adoptable Children (COAC), an adoption service agency that helps to place children in the foster care system with permanent, loving families. Amrita Raju, our Adoption Expeditor, had come to COAC as an outreach effort to find families for children in foster care with Graham Windham, for whom we had determined that adoption was the best option. As Amrita began to tell the group of prospective parents about a six-year-old boy named Keyveon, Lisa and Kent told her – even before she could finish the narrative – “We’d like to talk with you.” “They were so ready to be parents,” said Amrita. Lisa and Kent had been longing for a child, and immediately felt that Keyveon would be the one. Amrita carefully read the home study that had been put together, providing more background on the type of environment and upbringing Lisa and Kent might be able to give a child.

Bill and I are excited that you are here and hope you enjoy our exciting new exhibit, She Persists: A Century of Women Artists in New York. These 60 works of art tell a powerful story about the persistence of women. From the very beginning of the de Blasio administration, we have made it our mission to honor that persistence by taking significant actions to create a stronger foundation for gender equity in our city. More parents than ever before can stay home and care for a sick child — without losing the day’s pay or being fired. More women can take time to recover from childbirth and bond with their baby. Employers can no longer use past salary history as justification for unfair pay in the present.

  • When Mom Or Dad Hooks up with Someone
    News | Entertainment | Sports | Jobs | Cars | Real Estate | Apartments | ShopLocal | Place An Ad am New York When Mom or Dad hooks up with someone new Especially for teenagers and adult children, adjusting to a parent–s new partner can be traumatic BY PAT BURSON [email protected] March 19, 2007 Divorce can drive a wedge between a parent and child, even more so when Mom or Dad hooks up right away with someone new. While the transition is tough for any child, it can be more difficult for teenagers and young adults who may be more aware than younger children about what is happening and what it all means. Take the relationship between former New York City mayor and Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani and his son, Andrew, 21. The younger Giuliani revealed in published reports that he had "a little problem" with his father's third wife, Judith Nathan, and that he'd only recently spoken to his dad after some time. Andrew's situation - which included his dad openly seeing Nathan while still married to his mother, Donna Hanover, and his parents' bitter divorce, played out in the public eye - may be more extreme than most. But parents on the verge of separation or divorce would do well to take heed, family and relationship experts say, lest they risk jeopardizing the bond they have with their own teenage or adult children. Working through the grief After a divorce, both parents must take care of themselves as well as their children, says Bob Lancer, an Atlanta-area marriage and parenting consultant and author of "Parenting With Love ..

Once an affair becomes public knowledge many politicians seeks to repair a tarnished image. Through the use and understanding of Goffman’s self‐ presentation strategies politicians have been able to once again find favor with the public. Bill Clinton and Mark Sanford were both accused to engaging in extra‐marital affairs during their political career; and later admitted guilt to transgressions. Through the analysis of print and television and by assessing audience reaction; self‐presentation strategies have been demonstrated by both politicians. Political Affairs 4 Table of Contents Page 1.
