Special Adoption Focus Group
March 13 at 6:30pm,  Wayside Youth & Family Support Network – 88 Lincoln St. Framingham
 
The Parent Partnership Program is inviting families who have adopted children to join us on March 13 at 6:30pm, 88 Lincoln St. Framingham.
 
The purpose of this meeting is to gather your thoughts and feelings about what has helped you/family in the past and what is working for you/family presently. Any/all information you share is confidential.
 
The facilitator of the focus group, Rick Small will gather the information shared with him and report and advocate for families to agencies in both the  public and private sectors and hopefully illicit change. He is visiting and facilitating a  number of focus groups at many agencies throughout the state in order to develop a comprehensive report.
 
Family input is critical and we believe your presence, thoughts and feels will make a difference for all families parenting adopted children.  
 
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
 
Sincerely,
Irene
