IFCA Youth Group Activities

A strong message from adult adoptees is that peer friendship and support is uniquely valuable to young adoptees. IFCA would like to help the youth in our local adoption community form positive relationships by sponsoring activities for specific age groups.

If you have questions about our “Giggling Dragons” group (ages 6 to 12), please contact Leiann Bonnet, leiannbonnet@gmail.com.  If you’re interested in joining this IFCA youth group and would like to participate in our events, please join our Giggling Dragons Yahoo! List (separate from our general IFCA member List).  To subscribe, please send an email to:   gigglingdragons-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Youth Groups: All youth of families who have adopted from Asia are invited to attend events for their age group. This includes biological children, adopted children who are not Asian, and boys.
