SUMMARY:ACI's Adoption Community Connection - An Online Community
DESCRIPTION:We are always looking for ways to support you! \nACI is proud to announce a new online community called Adoption Community Connection! Designed to build a safe space for adoptive families and waiting families to create connections with other families\, find and share resources\, and most importantly\, to know you are not alone. Shared through a Google Drive\, members will find various databases they can search through and add to. All members will be vetted by ACI staff to ensure the community remains a safe space for all.  Contact Molly Berger – mberger@adoptillinois.org to join or with any questions.
