    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 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.

VISION STATEMENT The Buffalo Zoo will be a regional leader in inspiring visitors to respect, protect and restore natural habitats for wildlife.

Fernandes, Ph.D. The Buffalo Zoo in 2016 can be summed up in four words – The Pride of Buffalo. Not only did we celebrate the first lion cubs born in Buffalo in 25 years, but the Zoo attracted a record 538,100 visitors. This led to a terrific bottom line with admissions revenue up 25% and Food Service up 19% from the previous year. We took great pride in receiving accreditation for another five years from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) for the eighth consecutive time. During our site inspection, the Visiting Committee was very complimentary about the Zoo’s new exhibits, graphics, conservation and education programs, and our overall cleanliness and appearance. Other notable achievements in 2016 included a Brick by Brick award from Business First for Best Green Construction for the Arctic Edge exhibit and a Regional Asset Award from the Amherst Chamber of Commerce. We were also honored to host the Otter Keeper Workshop in October, bringing in 80 participants from around the country to focus on otter husbandry and conservation.
