Congratulations on becoming parents. This will be an exciting, busy and emotional time for you and your families.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO NOTIFY THE COMMITTEE WHEN YOU ARE PLACED SO YOU CAN BE ADDED TO THE KIDS CLUB EMAIL LIST

The APA Kids Club monthly gatherings (similar to playgroups) for members are held at a central location in Sydney. For families in regional NSW, the APA can connect you with an adoption support group in your region. Kids club events are a great way of connecting with other families formed through adoption and permanent care. The APA families understand the path to becoming parents as they have been there too. Children and parents form life-long friendships to allow support through the wonderful times and the challenging times of parenting. Please contact the kids club coordinator for more information on kids club events. Please refer to member benefits for other APA functions and the contact page for general information.

A document that may be of interest to you is "Realistic Expectations" which you can source from EMK press. The document is a guide for adoptive families that are newly formed. www.emkpress.com/index.html
