Retreat Information

Thank you for your interest in attending one of our Virtual retreats!

For all of our retreats, a number of spots are reserved for first-time attendees and a number of spots are reserved for women who have previously attended retreats. Once spots are filled, a wait-list will be started. If you are placed on the wait-list and do not get a space, you will be given priority to attend the next virtual retreat. If the spaces reserved for new attendees are not filled, the spaces will be offered to birthparents who have previously attended retreats.

The cost for an individual to attend a birthmother retreat is approximately $100; however, retreats are underwritten by On Your Feet Foundation. Because of this, On Your Feet is able to ask each birthmother to pay only $35 to attend ($25 early bird discount). If $35 is unattainable, monetary grants are available. Applicants can also make arrangements with On Your Feet staff to set up third-party payments. $25 early bird registration is available up to 6 weeks prior to the retreat.

I have read and understand the above section titled Retreat Information.

Release of Information

This release does three basic things: it gives us permission to contact your agency, whom we depend on for referrals; it allows us to use your non-identifying information in our statistical analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of our services and to obtain funding from donors; and it enables us to collaborate as a team to provide the best services to you.

I, name entered below, give permission to On Your Feet Foundation to exchange or release information regarding adoption services. I also give permission for On Your Feet Foundation to contact references and the adoption agency that provided services during pregnancy and adoption placement.

I am aware that On Your Feet Foundation is in the process of gathering research data and some of the statistical information gathered may be used for research. I am also aware that signing this release allows my adoption story to be shared in likeness in the On Your Feet Foundation printed materials and/or website/social media pages. No confidential data or identifying information such as names and addresses will be used for this purpose. 

By signing this release, I understand this allows all pertinent On Your Feet Foundation personnel/staff to collaborate on my behalf as a team, to provide the best services deserved to me.
