Adoption & Foster Update / next support group meeting

Hi all,
 
The next Adoption & Foster support group meeting is this Thursday!  Topic is: "Open Adoptions - protecting the adopted child vs. communicating with their birth parents".  Different adoptive parents and adoption agencies have different views on this.  This should be very interesting discussions that we can all learn from.  I recognize that this is more applicable to local adoption than to international adoption, but we will also talk about how to build up and promote the history/heritage/culture/identity for your child.
 
Register for free childcare ASAP on this web site: http://lpcadoption.org/lpcadoption.org/CurrentEvents/Registration.aspx
- Deadline for registering for childcare is normally at least 1 week ahead of time so do it quickly. 
- Great fellowship with other families who are adopting and fostering, useful training including foster training hours, free childcare, celebrations for adoptions, fellowships for whole families, and mutual support between group members.
