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.

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.
