Families Forever

In 2008, the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) established Families Forever, which focuses on adoption awareness. This project offers a seminar on the "how to" of the adoption process and several statewide family fairs. It was recognized by the American Bar Association as the "Most Outstanding Service Project" in the country offered by young lawyers.

The following fairs are scheduled for 2012:
January 28, 2012, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
YWCA, 700 Augusta Street, Greenville   

February 18, 2012, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 
Felix C. Davis Community Center, 4800 Park Circle, N. Charleston
