Back to School and Back to Support

Our first meeting of the new school year was a welcome one this month. Previous attendees to the group were happy to re-connect and catch up on news of the summer. There were some new parents to the group, who were welcomed with shared stories of adoption, adjustment, hopes and fears.

As a group we talked about some topics for discussion at upcoming meetings. Together we also brainstormed ideas for raising the profile of the group in order that we might connect with more new parents who might enjoy the group.


It was agreed that a Facebook group be created, and this has since happened. It will certainly be a useful tool in reaching out to community.

As always, the meeting was a good mix of laughter, serious discussion, shared wisdom and knowledge.
The next meeting was confirmed for October 6th, and we are expecting more new parents to attend.
