SUMMARY:Parents of Adopted Adults Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A support group for individuals who have an adult (18+) child adopted through any type of adoption (infant\, international\, foster care adoption). Sessions will be held online. Parents from any placing agency/county are welcome to attend.  While each story is unique\, we recognize that there are many core similarities that adoption weaves into life experiences. Topics will be suggested\, but each month the conversation will be open to relevant\, participant-led\, discussion. This is a safe\, confidential space\, the group is facilitated by parents of adult adoptees who are also CH/LSS staff. \nAfter registration\, you will receive information to join the next session. Please feel free to register for one\, multiple\, or all sessions. This service is provided by funding made possible by the Minnesota Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families. \nMeeting Details\nThis group meets online and takes place on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 12:00–1:30 p.m. (CT). There is no cost to attend. You may register to attend one\, multiple\, or all dates offered below. \nFor virtual meetings\, you will receive a Zoom link via email the day of the meeting. \n\n                \n                        \n                            Parents of Adopted Adults Support Group\n                             \n                        \n                        URLThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Please select all of the dates you would like to attend:(Required)\n								\n								Online | October 27\, 2026\, from 12:00–1:30 p.m. (CT)\n							\n								\n								Online | November 24\, 2026\, from 12:00–1:30 p.m. (CT)\n							\n								\n								Online | December 22\, 2026\, from 12:00–1:30 p.m. (CT)\n							Select AllName(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email(Required)\n                            \n                        CountyStateAlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces PacificWhat agency are you working with\, or did you work with\, for your adoption?Do you need any accommodations to participate in this group?By submitting my registration\, I/we confirm that I/we would like to attend the Parents of Adopted Adults Support Group and are eligible based on the above-mentioned criteria:(Required)\n								\n								Yes\, I/we confirm.\n							CAPTCHA\n         Submit \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ
