My
Support System - Family, Friends & Community
I
come from a large family and have lots of friends who are like family to me. My child will be embraced by many, including
six cousins. I am fortunate to have a supportive group of colleagues and friends from work, as well as friends from
other areas of my life. In addition, my tennis and fitness club provides a family community with birthday parties by
the pool, weekly barbecues, children’s activities, and social events for the whole family. I have met many friends
there and I am sure my child will meet playmates and friends too.

| Having fun at the club with my friend Cathleen and her children, the younger two were adopted |
|
| My collegues at work, who give me such support and love! |
There are many people in my
circle of family and friends who have been touched by adoption. Besides my niece and nephew, who were adopted from China, I
have several friends who have children through adoption, and I also have a friend who is a birthmother. My
child will not feel alone with such a compassionate group of people as part of our extended family.
