Supporters of the University of Minnesota Adoption Medicine Clinic (AMC) gathered on September 27 at The Lynhall in Minneapolis for an evening of great food, heartwarming stories, community, and to hear from keynote speaker Dr. Judy Eckerle, director of the Adoption Medicine Clinic. Senator Amy Klobuchar also recently honored Dr. Eckerle as an Angel in Adoption.

 

Halunen Law attorney Blaine Balow served as chair of the event planning committee.

Founded in 1986, AMC is a global leader in adoption medicine, research, education, and advocacy.
