The Greater Orlando Adoption / Foster Care Meetup No recent ratings
Founded
June 1, 2008

Meet other local pre-and-post Adoptive / Foster care Kids & Parents, If you have been involved in any aspect of adoption or foster care, questions, etc. we'd love to meet with you and be a source of mutual encouragement.

I feel sure we can learn from everyone's perspective.

Gather to discuss acceptance, social and legal issues, and to offer support to one another. I like to serve food, and feel sure we will have a good time.

(We got the new kids, and all free time disappeared. I also discovered that the Meetup website was still generating meetings :)

I'm sorry about the confusion, but it is part of the deal with adoption. Your life massively changes, and even the kids you already have react roughly.

I'm going to need to either find an assistant organizer, or wait until things have calmed down in about a month, we are pretty busy with the little guys having just gotten them into the house.

Thanks everyone for the interest in the group, and I'll email when I'm able to host another meeting, unless I hear back from someone who'd like to be assist. organizer. )

What members are saying

 Great Resource. 

 It is great to have others to talk to and ask questions who are or have been through the same thing you are.
