Yeah, so glad some people responded. Doesn't seem like we have to many people in our area to relate to. We are in Wausau WI. So very close to some of you!! I would guess that Eau Claire and Michigan would be about 3 hours??? But, if you were up to driving for a lunch or something that would be GREAT!!! I'll keep bumping it up and see if we can get anymore interested. Those of you really close to me, I would love to do a playgroup, PM me if interested!!

If you haven't already, you might want to join LAAF-Wi (Latin Amer. Adoptive Families of Wisconsin). I am in SE Wi, but many of the families are more in the central part of the state, and have get togethers.
