Heart for the Fatherless Coffee Talk
This is a very informal gathering at Shari’s (1200 N Columbia Center BLVD in Kennewick) on the last Tuesday of the month for “moms or moms-to-be” that are adopting or fostering to get together. Moms and moms-to-be, are connected to each other in a very meaningful way. We share a common bond,?and talking with other women who in some way or another have been touched by adoption or fostering has proven to be a great source of encouragement and support. OR – you just need to get out of the house and have some adult conversation with other mom’s!!
