Online Gathering: Adoption & Foster Care Connection 
Virtual
Wednesday, April 9, 2025 from 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM 

Have you ever considered adoption or fostering children? Do you have questions that you’ve wanted to ask but didn’t know someone that has gone through the process?

Old St. Pat’s Adoption and Foster Connections is an experienced group who can offer you answers and resources. They provide a forum for families to connect, share stories, and support each other who are experiencing the adoption or foster journey.

Join us for an online gathering on Wednesday, April 9th from 8:00pm-9:00pm to learn more. There is no fee. RSVP to Rachelle Lindo, Co-Chair at [email protected]. A Zoom link will be sent to those who RSVP. 

The Adoption Creed

Not flesh of my flesh nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute, you didn’t grow under my heart, but in it. – Author Unknown
