Four fortnightly meetings for women whose babies were adopted more than 25
years ago. If you lost your daughter or son long ago and have never heard what became of
them, or if you have had some sort of contact recently and are confused by the mixed
messages you feel you are getting, this group is for you!
The group is open to women who may have already visited PAC for one-to-one counselling
and would like to meet other birth mothers in a group, and to those who have not been to
PAC before. Please ensure you are able to attend all four sessions. Applications no later
than end of April, please. |

Are you a birth mother? Is the child you lost to adoption now grown up?
Has this grown up daughter or son made you a grandmother? Do you have contact with your
grandchild/ren, or wish you could have contact? Are you wondering if you may become a
grandmother soon, or may be one already? Do you worry that you might not be told, and
might never meet your grandchildren? Are you finding it difficult knowing your grandchildren,
but not being allowed to tell them who you are?
If the answer to some of these questions is "yes", this day is designed especially for you. It will
provide an opportunity for you to share your experiences, your hopes, your fears, your
sorrows and joys, in an informal, safe and supportive environment.
|
| |
| Aims |
| To help participants: talk about their complex feelings around becoming a grandmother and, perhaps, being
denied a role as "Granny" or "Grandma"; meet others in a similar situation; feel less isolation; become part of an
informal network of women with related experiences. |
| |
| Who should attend |
| Birth mothers of now adult sons and daughters who have started a family of their own, or
who may soon do so. |
