Current Support Groups

Our Post-Adoption and Kinship support groups offer holistic outreach to our families and their children. Pre-registration is required for each. Please contact our office at 330.493.0083 for more information.

Post-Adoption & Kinship Support - No Matter The Distance

We would like to offer our Adoptive Moms, Adoptive Dads and Kinship & Grandparent Support Groups via Zoom. Zoom is a video conferencing platform that allows multiple parties to connect in real time. It would be very similar to the support groups we offer, but from the comfort of your own home, back yard, or anywhere you choose! This would be available to you at no charge.

If you are interested, please email mgirdlestone@pathwaycfc.org for more information
