The CLSC Plateau Mont Royal (one of CSSS Jeanne Mance's installations) will soon be offering new workshops to stimulate parent-child bonding. These sessions will be given during the day and will require the presence of at least one parent along with the adopted child. These sessions will be free of charge, given in small groups and will probably consist of 4 sessions.

For more details about these new workshops, we invite you to contact the CLSC

Each year, a team of volunteers takes charge and organizes an event for adoptive parents having returned from China in the past few years, as well as those presently awaiting a proposal. This is an ideal activity to reunite families around a good meal (Sunday brunch) and to allow families to get together in a beautiful location offering various family activities.

In September 2009, over 300 people were reunited at Jouvence (Eastern Townships). We thank the volunteers who contribute year after year to the success of this family gathering!

Our dynamic team of volunteers works hard every year to organise activities for the adoptive families. For example, the COPAIN committee (COmité de Parents en Adoption INternationale) organises a picnic every summer for all of the families having adopted or waiting to adopt from Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

The only way for us to reach our adoptive parents is by the postal address registered in our database. If you move and wish to continue receiving information and invitations on our behalf, please advise us of your new address so that we may keep our database up to date.

Société Formons une Famille supports and assists families who wish to return to China for the first time with their adopted child(ren).

This "return trip" must be prepared by keeping in mind the interest of the child(ren) as it represents for him/her the first contact with their country of origin since the adoption.

This type of trip generally suits families whose children are now 8 years old or more.
