Family Support
Parent Support Weekend
Come join what many adoptive parents have described as a well-deserved get away. Once a year adoptive mothers and fathers travel to the Kinard Conference Center for a weekend filled with fun, relaxation, and to attend workshops specific to adoption issues.
While the kids stay home with a caregiver or spend the weekend with friends/family, moms and dads are fishing, taking a walk in the woods, and developing support systems. The weekend is also filled with workshops on topics relating to parenting, adoption, specific disorders or diagnosis, and community resources. It is always amazing to see the smiles on relaxed faces at the end of the weekend. You won't find a more supportive atmosphere anywhere! There is no cost to attend this weekend retreat. However, your children will not be able to attend with you.
Respite scholarships are available on a first come first serve basis. The respite funds are set aside to help families pay for childcare providers for the weekend.
