Season’s Greetings

Dear Friends and Families,

Season’s Greetings to you and your loved ones!

We are deeply grateful for the support everyone has provided New Beginnings Family and Children’s Services this year. Your generosity has helped us find waiting children permanent homes and assist adoptees in exploring their personal history and heritage.

As you consider your year-end giving, please think of us. At this time of year, there are many worthy causes to support. Please consider supporting New Beginnings and our Beyond the Placement Program. Supporting the services to help adoptees explore their history and heritage is not the most glamorous, but adoptive families’ best understand the need for and the importance of adoptee services. It is you, our friends and families, who know the importance of finding a waiting child a loving home. Mail your tax-deductible gift (postmarked by December 31) to:

New Beginnings Family and Children’s Services
87 Mineola Boulevard, Mineola, New York 11501

Happy Holidays Donations can also be made online by visiting us at

Warmest Regards,

Timothy Sutfin

Timothy Sutfin and the Staff of New Beginnings
