Bellis hosts weekly online gatherings on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, exclusively for women who have experienced termination or transfer of parental rights. This is an opportunity to discuss grief, loss, and what it means to walk through life as a mother who isn't parenting. For privacy, facilitators will ask that participants join the online meetings from a private space, with no children or other participants able to hear the conversation or see other participants. Your story is safe with Bellis - and that takes teamwork. Thank you!

Details:

• Whether your case was finalized months ago or years ago, you are welcome to this free, safe & confidential conversation.

• A host will facilitate discussions. But the heart of the program is women with shared experiences lifting each other in acceptance, compassion, and friendship. No shame. No judgment.

• Use this form to get more info about these meetings and to ask about a virtual option on Tuesday night.

• To attend the Thursday evening online group, we ask you to register each Wednesday by noon. Each Monday, we send an email to all who have contacted us, beginning with the form above. The email includes all necessary information to attend any of the group meetings, including the registration link.

Bellis is a neutral resource that builds community among those affected by adoption and foster care. It works independently from agencies and organizations involved with CPS, TPR, or child-placement. Learn more at mybellis.org. Invite others to this group by sharing this flier.
