I think you are wise to seek out a multiples playgroup; your parenting challenges are different. I personally had issues with playgroups once my son turned 2. EVERYONE was having baby #2 except me. I left crying more days than I can count. I was completely surrounded by fertile myrtles and it was horrible. I think the majority (well, at least MANY) of multiples moms have possibly done fertility treatments. They might be a bit older, more mature, and definitely more accepting of adoption. I've found that some of the best parents I've known have been the ones who've struggled to build their families. So, while the other playgroup moms may not be adoptive parents--they possibly did struggle to get their kids. And you'll have that in common, you know? I would rather go to a multiples playgroup myself; but I don't have multiples! lol I met my 2 best friends in the world through a playgroup. Starting something new is always uncomfortable but as the kids get older; you'll NEED that playgroup
