Transracial Adoption Play Groups
Adoption Associates, Inc. is happy to announce several play groups beginning throughout Michigan for our families that have adopted African-American or biracial children. We are committed to helping families find ways to connect with other families built by transracial adoption.
These groups will be facilitated by other adoptive parents, and they are excited to hear from you! Please call the facilitator for information about what is available in your area.
