What is Babies Fest? It is a festive gathering of some of the finest educators and suppliers in baby business. In addition, this is a benefit event for The Nevada Adoption Exchange. The Adoption Exchange provides the connection between children who wait and families who adopt. The Adoption Exchange envisions a world in which all children are valued and grow up in safe and permanent families and where families are supported in their critical roles. Please join us and see the newest and safest products for babies and toddlers. Learn the “best practices” from the best educators. The knowledge you’ll take home is priceless.

Babies Fest was created to bring awareness to a charity that has actually been forgotten about in the Las Vegas valley. The Adoption Exchange is the final link to bringing children in foster care to find permanent, loving families. These 300 + children have gone through a form of rejection that most of us are blessed to have never seen or felt. The stories behind these kids are heartbreaking. So much so that Lana and I are adopting two of these kids ourselves, but unfortunately we can not adopt them all.

The funding of the Adoption Exchange has been slashed by the State of Nevada because of cuts that have been made due to economical conditions. Although the Adoption Exchange is a privately held 501 (c) (3) non-profit, it is funded by the state. We as friends and businesses need to help pick up the slack. The Babies Fest Foundation was founded to be the fund raising arm of the Adoption Exchange and Babies Fest. Our event is November 14th & 15th at the Bally’s Event Center in Las Vegas. You can download a flyer and print it out. Please pass it along to your neighbors and friends.

To date, Lana and I have funded the foundation ourselves, but now we are asking for your help. We are appealing to you to find a small place in your heart for the children that have consumed our hearts totally. From five dollars to five hundred dollars, any amount will help us to finish paving the dirt road ahead of us. Since this is a 501 (c) (3), we will provide a tax receipt for your donation. Your donation will go directly to Babies Fest and The Adoption Exchange to make November 14th & 15th the event of a lifetime for our 300 + children. We will not stop our mission until all of our kids are adopted into loving families.

Thank you,
~Ray Shrader
