The Exchange Club of Springfield, Ohio, met Tuesday May 24, 2022, 7:00 AM, at the Masonic Community’s Lindner Center, with 12 members and one guest present. Guest Speaker was the Executive Director of Choosing Hope Adoptions, Angela Boblitt. Choosing Hope Adoptions is a full service licensed non-profit adoption agency serving all of Ohio. Adoption is a redemptive response to a crisis. It is filled with ups and downs, unimaginable heartache, love, and joy. All entities in the adoption triad, birth parents, adoptive parents, and the child(ren) have unique needs, experiences, and hopes as they enter into the adoption journey. Adoption is a relational ministry and shouldn’t feel transactional to those involved. It is their hope that the relationships they build with their clients are life-long and infused with hope. Angela accepted a $ 1,000 Foundation Donation from club members Karen and Mark Lotz.
