There is a support group that meets the 2nd Monday of the month at
Lutheran Social Services Fargo ND at 7:00 pm
This is for all members of the triad. There is no fee.
They meet from 7 to 9.
The group has been going for approximately 10 years. The facilitator
of the group is Lynn Thompson who is a birth mother who has completed
a search.
Searching is not a requirement for attending the group, just being
one of the triad members or support person for a triad member is all
that is required.
If you'd like more information or discussion e-mail mlthompson@f...
