Wow, Storkwatcher, thanks so much for the kind words. You're so kind. Thank you - I really needed that today!
Thanks so much for the ideas. I had originally been thinking of monthly meetings but I do think that would be too often. Every three months sounds great to me.
I'm truly looking forward to this and I hope I can make it work. I am also looking at this opportunity to network with other adoptive parents as a way to someday allow DS to have a group of friends who've been adopted as well. I think this will help him in the years to come - to have friends that he can talk to about the same issues that he may experience as an adoptee.
I'm envisioning such a successful support group that we can branch off and have separate domestic and international meetings. I have several good friends that have adopted internationally and they would be great resources for those who have or are considering adopting outside of the country.
I'm so excited about getting started. I believe I'll send in that email to our sw today to see if she can help me get the ball rolling.
