Support Group for Birthparents will meet on July 11
Nashville, TN – A support group for parents who have placed a child for adoption will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, July 11, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the office of Miriam’s Promise, located at Tulip Street Methodist Church, 522 Russell Street in east Nashville. The group, which meets monthly, is jointly sponsored by Catholic Charities of Tennessee and Miriam’s Promise. The meeting is open to any birthparent in the community who has placed a child for adoption -- whether recently or many years ago. The session begins with a light supper, followed by a group discussion.
“Our agencies handle domestic adoptions that are possible because of a decision made by a birthparent,” said Donna Thomas, director of Caring Choices program of Catholic Charities.
“This informal meeting allows birthparents to share and discuss their experiences and receive support, information and understanding.”
Catholic Charities of Tennessee provides family services on behalf of the Diocese of Nashville and is a licensed child-placing agency of the State of Tennessee. Miriam’s Promise is a program of the Tennessee Conference of the United Methodist Church.
For directions to the location of the July 11 meeting or for more information, please call Donna Thomas, Catholic Charities, at 615-352-3087.
