In the early 2000s, the Blys attended classes and support groups for parents waiting to adopt through the Nebraska Children's Home Society, a statewide network of resources for families in the process of fostering or adopting kids, and the only adoption agency in the country that doesn't charge any fees for their services. The Blys were asked several times to speak about the adoption process to schools and other groups, and they soon developed a rhythm of speaking and volunteering actively for the Nebraska Children's Home Society. When we were looking to adopt, we got to hear the stories of adoptive parents, foster parents and birth parents. When you go to some of those panels, there's already Kleenex on the tables. Because the stories you hear are just incredible. After Trae came into their life and they became more involved in the area adoption network, the Blys spent a little over a year providing foster care to several groups of kids, always with the intention to adopt more kids in the future. After staying with Aaron and Kerri for 13 months and steadily nesting into the hearts of their new parents, the kids were allowed to return to their birth parents .But, as Aaron and Kerri had been learning throughout the process of fostering and adopting, the door isn't always closed. For the past five years, Aaron and a committee of NCHS volunteers have organized the "Fairways and Greens for Kids and Dreams" charity golf tournament in Kearney to benefit the children's home society that facilitated the adoptions in the Bly family and so many others. Aaron and Kerri were honored Dec.
