This is a casual discussion group meant to support adoptive and fostering parents and to build relationships between parents and their adopted children of all ages through community, conversation, and educational materials. This group offers a safe place to share and ask questions openly and honestly about relinquishment and adoption-related issues.

This is co-facilitated by Julie Richards, a trauma therapist and parent of both adopted and birth children; and by Heather Gonzales King, an adult adoptee who is in graduate school studying art therapy and counseling. Both are committed to increasing their understanding through the insight and perspective of other triad members. Each month we discuss a chapter in a book or a podcast. We do this in an attempt to cover a variety of related topics, to increase our knowledge and awareness of the information that is out there, and maximize our resources for future.

There is No requirement to come to all discussions or to have read the chapter beforehand, so please join us and feel free to choose the chapter topics that interest you!
We had a great time reading the Primal Wound together and are looking forward to starting a new book - Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew by Sherrie Eldridge.

This month we will discuss Chapters 17 & 18
