Positively Connected
I have a hard time getting my thoughts down on paper. They are swirling in my head all the time, and I think to myself, I need to write about this or blog about that, then when I actually sit down to do it, my mind goes blank. I have so much I want to share about our Positive Parenting group and can’t wait to tell everyone about it. I have met some amazing people in the past few months, people who have a real passion for kids living with HIV. Especially kids without parents who are waiting for adoption. I have met parents who have adopted and I have met people who help them adopt. Our goal for this group is to make sure people who have HIV+ kids or are thinking about adopting have the information they need to raise happy, healthy, and well adjusted kids. That is why we are hosting, along with Bethany Christian Services, the largest adoption agency in the US, an evening of Positively Connected. Information is below. I hope anyone who is interested in learning about this great new program will be able to come.
Positively Connected
(Understanding the joys and challenges of raising a child who is HIV+)
Bethany Christian Services (www.bethany.org) has partnered with the Grand Rapids Red Project (http://redproject.org/) to provide support and education to local adoptive families.
Together we will be hosting an evening of information sharing and resource connection for families who have adopted or are considering adopting a child with HIV. We will also hear testimonials from families who are living with and affected by HIV.
We invite anyone interested to join us for dessert and informal discussion on the evening of June 2, 2010. Children are welcome to attend. Families will be given resources to take home. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Conference Center at our headquarters in Grand Rapids (901 Eastern Ave. NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49501).
Please contact Stephanie at sryder@bethany.org for more information or to RSVP. We would love to have you join us!
