Five new members joined and we had a bigger group yesterday at our second meeting! I was so thrilled and excited to listen to everyone share. I'm touched by everyone's honesty and desire to be a great parent. A sweet, interesting mix of folks. A couple of single moms, one single dad (looking into adoption), some who have adopted internationally and some who are waiting to adopt internationally, and one from foster to adopt. We had 4 kids there too, ages 2 to 6. It was good to be in the kids section at the Borders bookstore that sponsors our meeting so they had fun things to occupy them. Because us grown ups can be boring talking our grown up talk!
We talked about finding a better location that is not so public but where kids can play too. Perhaps at a church or synagogue. Will look into it.
I feel so proud that I've created this group. I've worked hard to get more people to join and it's something that I am very passionate about!
I look forward to it growing more and seeing how all the relationships build.
We are in the adoption process and want to share our journey with you.

Sounds like a wonderful group!
Those relationships will come in very handy over the years. I am still in touch with people from our adoption classes. I think our kids enjoy getting together as well.
Kudos!
It sounds great. Where abouts do you meet?
