Los Angeles Regional Family GroupOrganized and led by adoptive parents who are Pact members, this group allows adopted children of color to meet and play with other children with similar experiences and family structures, while their parents discuss issues and exchange information. Families meet occasionally at a park or other venue for informal gatherings. Meetings alternate at various locations around the LA area. Are you a natural organizer? Love to bring people together? We are actively recruiting parents who would like to serve as hosts for these events. If you are a Pact member and would like to meet other families at a location in your area, please contact us and we will help you get the word out and arrange a gathering.
