Parent Support Group

Are you looking for a chance to chat with other adoptive parents about family issues or concerns?  Wondering how your experience and that of your children compares to other families?  Need advice on finalization, or a place to look for medical, social or educational services?  Just want a safe, supportive place to discuss adoptive parenting?

Our Parent Support Group provides an informal, relaxed setting for discussing all types of issues that you may be facing as an adoptive parent, and is open to everyone.  Many have found it to be a great way to connect with parents and discuss resources.

The Parent Support Group meets one Monday each month at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Bloomington.  Meetings begin at about 7:00pm and usually go until about 9:00pm; however, if you can’t be there right at 7:00pm, it’s okay – we’d still love to see you there!  Mark your calendars – the spring dates are:

Although you don’t need to let us know you’re coming, childcare is only available with pre-registration.  To pre-register, please call Susan Folen at 763-595-0626 or e-mail her at dfolen@cleanweb.net.  We look forward to meeting and talking with you!

Parent Network Meetings

Looking for an opportunity to learn more and meet with local adoption experts?  If you are, then our Parent Network Meetings are for you.  These meetings, which take place on the third Thursday of each month, invite in local speakers to discuss a wide variety of adoption issues.  Over the past year; we've had speakers from the University of Minnesota's International Adoption Clinic, Children's Home Society and Therapy Place, to name just a few.  Upcoming dates for spring meetings are:

Pre-registration is required if you need child care.  Please contact Kristy Miklas at 952-361-0064 or e-mail her at Kristy215@aol.com to pre-register or for more information.
