SUMMARY:Coffee and Chat for LGBTQ+ Week
DESCRIPTION:This is a great opportunity for those who might be thinking about adopting a child or children\, to come along and have their questions answered by those who have done it. This event has been organised as part of the LGBTQ+ Adoption and Fostering celebrations that we take part in annually. \nWe welcome anyone considering adoption – it’s that simple. But\, we appreciate that those from the LGBTQ+ communities may have some specific questions and concerns that relate to their sexual orientation or gender identity\, and how others (including children\, birth families\, and professionals) may process this. \nWe want to assure you that very little hasn’t been asked before\, and if we don’t have the answer yet\, we will do our best to work with you and find it. \nThe event is open to anyone interested in adoption\, at any point in their journey. \nView on Eventbrite and book your space
