Hope Adoption Services: BC Adoption Agency & Pregnancy Counselling

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:00:00 -0800

January 5, 2012

For over 25 years, Hope Pregnancy & Adoption Services Society has provided services to women and men facing unplanned pregnancies and to those hoping to build their families through adoption. We have weathered many low financial times before, but are now unable to meet our financial obligations. We were in discussions with another larger organization to see if they could provide an umbrella under which we could continue, but that was not to be.

3rd Annual Retreat for Parents of People with FASD

Mon, 16 May 2011 07:00:00 -0700

You are invited to our third annual parent retreat for adoptive parents of children, youth, or adults who are suspected of having or have been diagnosed with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). As a parent-led organization, we know the importance for parents to have a chance to come together with those who understand and care.This retreat is planned to provide
opportunities to share stories of challenges and triumphs, to listen and to learn, and to enjoy time away. Most important, though, is the chance to develop friendships and support. We hope that you will find a way to join us at this retreat planned just for you. While we realize that finding child care can be difficult, the event is for adults only.
