Journey to adoption begins at website
With the founding of Journey To Me, a "next generation" website, Denver-area resident Bren Wolfe is helping adoptive parents from around the world connect in ways never before possible.
Access to the site- JourneyToMe.com - is free. Visitors will find educational programs; advice from experts on such topics as attachment and bonding, sensory integration and parenting; a virtual library containing both audio and printed materials and journals.
"Our site is unique in that it addresses the full spectrum of adoption needs," Wolfe says. "We will continue to be a destination site where families create online adoption journals to share personal stories and chronicle the many milestones of their adoption."
The website has more than 1,700 adoption stories posted from families around the world and receives an average of 130,000 hits per day.
On Nov. 10, Journey To Me is having its first fundraiser, an attachment and bonding workshop featuring Dr. Bryan Post and Heather Forbes. It begins at 8:30 a.m. at Cherry Hills Community Church and the fee is $50. Register on the website, or call 720-933-9182.
