As many of you know, Karen Ristow, Ohio Program Administrator for Family Adoption Consultants, lost her dear son Adam in early June following a year long battle with cancer. Adam loved to travel the world and visited 29 countries during his life. He had finalized plans to visit China in 2008 when his plans were cut short following his diagnosis of cancer that spring. Adam’s longtime friend Scott Wilson spoke eloquently during Adam’s memorial service and shared stories about Adams love of travel. Scott challenged all of us present to continue to honor Adam’s love of travel by each of us finding a way to travel to explore the world. As a result, the crew of the 2009 FAC China Orphanage Service Project dedicates our travel, our work, and our love for these children in China to the spirit of Adam Ristow, the entire Ristow family, and to Jen Curfman.
