Support Groups

Hi,

I really enjoy the NJ board because it is so active with great input from everyone.

Does anyone know of a local support group for foster parents? I live in Willingboro, Burlington County. I am new foster parent, since Christmas '08 (best Christmas present ever!) I am a single parent with very limited family/friends support and could use more support from people who live the situation. I really enjoy the boards but also like that face-to-face contact.

I've heard about some groups in other counties but they are pretty far. If anybody can share some info I would appreciate it .

Thanks
Rish

Hi Rish,

I am licensed out of the Willingboro office too. If you ever have any questions please feel free to IM me. I'm going on my 3rd year as resource parent.
