Monthly Events:
Coffee talk - This is a very informal gathering at Starbucks on the last Tuesday of the month for “moms or moms-to-be” that are adopt-ing or fostering to get together. Moms and moms-to-be, are con-nected to each other in a very meaningful way. We share a com-mon bond, and talking with other women who in some way or another have been touched by adoption or fostering has proven to be a great source of encouragement and support.
