    Adoption STAR is a not-for-profit adoption agency in New York, Ohio and Florida. The agency firmly believes that post adoption contact (open adoption), when appropriate, is what’s best for all parties involved, especially the children. Open adoption visits between adoptive families and birth families should be a time to celebrate the adoption journey and create relationships. These visits can be as simple as a picnic in the park or going swimming at a local pool, to theme parks and adventures. Below you will find an extensive list of open adoption visit ideas for that have been suggested by Adoption STAR clients and staff members in specific areas in New York, Ohio and Florida. This list can be updated regularly, so if you have any suggestions that you do not see on the list, please email [email protected] with the subject "Open Adoption Visit Project" and we will work to add your idea.

The edge of growth in industry, agriculture, and manufacturing from back then, to now bolstering high tech industry and engineering, S both medically and scientifically, which are eminating once again. The edge of one of the five Great Lakes, Lake Erie, and the edge of one of the longest International borders from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Buffalo has ex- perienced its high and lows of any great city over the decades, which suffered economic downturns of industry and development. However, Buffalo is now a city poised on the edge of an already underpinning of a long awated re-birth. From the great prosperous days of the Erie Canal, the Steel and Power Plants taking advantage of the abundance of the flow- ing waters of Lake Erie and the Niagara River, are all significant factors, which helped to propel Buffalo and Western New York to one of the top ten cities at the turn of the 20th Century. This rise brought with its wealth and power, both brokers and philanthropists, which grew with it our world renowned Arts and Entertain- ment Institutions, including the Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Buffalo History Museum, the Buffalo Museum of Science, the Buffalo Zoo, Kleinhans Music Hall - home to our Buffalo Philharmonic - and the achitecural phenomenon - Shea’s Theater.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Cheyenne Ketter-Franklin Communications & Content Coordinator Email: [email protected] Cell Phone: 716-424-7422 SECOND PHASE OF $2 MILLION HISTORIC RESTORATION PROJECT BEGINS AT THE BUFFALO HISTORY MUSEUM Buffalo, N.Y. (February 19, 2021) – The Buffalo History Museum will begin the next phase of restoration to the lower level of its National Historic Landmark Building. Work focuses on improving guest amenities, including new restrooms and an HVAC system. At the end of this phase of construction, the Museum’s lower level will be restored to the original vision of architect George Cary, with an expansive 4,400 sq. ft. gallery. This phase of construction is the next element of the “Restore, Reactivate, Reconnect” capital campaign to restore one-third of the total space within the Museum. Upcoming construction work involves selective demolition, installation of a new HVAC system, electrical upgrades, restroom reconfiguration and modernization, and floor, wall, and ceiling restoration. “Our building is the only one created for the 1901 Pan American Exposition meant to serve the community beyond the Exposition,” said Melissa Brown, Executive Director of The Buffalo History Museum. “2021 marks the Pan Am building’s 120th anniversary. We can’t image a better way to honor that legacy than by restoring and reuniting the gallery space under our portico as part of our commitment to be a welcoming, safe place of gathering for all in our community.” Senator Sean Ryan said, “The Buffalo History Museum is an important part of our history and one of Western New York's greatest architectural treasures.
