Connected Hearts Adoption Triad Support (CHATS) is a non-denominational organization that seeks to involve and serve all members of the adoption triad (i.e. adoptees, birthparents, and adoptive parents) as well as others interested in and impacted by adoption.
Our mission is to provide:
- a ministry of emotional support to all members;
- community outreach and awareness;
- and broad-based education about adoption-related issues.
Everyone is welcome!
We meet the 4th Monday of every month except December from 7:15 - 9:15 p.m., usually in the WAPC library. Our meetings are free, although we request $1 to help defray costs. We have light refreshments and time for sharing our stories.
