Families through Adoption, Digital Meet up
Date: Thursday 19th October
Time: @8pm
Digital: via zoom
Status: Booking required, please email for link
Here at Proud 2 b Parents we recognise that it is important that families through adoption have an opportunity to connect, share stories, and offer support to one another. We understand the unique joys and challenges of being LGBT+ parents through adoption, and this is a space to share these experiences and feed into some of the work that is happening both locally and nationally through partnership work.
At this meeting, we can organise an opportunity for us and others to come together for a face-to-face meet-up in the coming weeks, where our children can have some time together and we can carry on the conversations. Any questions about this event? Please don't hesitate to give the team an email on info@proud2bparents.co.uk
