Welcome to the North Carolina Triangle, Families
with Children from Vietnam. This is the support group for families
who have adopted children from Vietnam. If you have adopted a child
of Vietnamese heritage or are considering adopting from Vietnam, please
join us. We have a lot of fun together and you are welcome.
Activities
Our families meet together every few months at various locations in
the North Carolina Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), usually
in our homes. Our activities are both educational and social, ranging
from potlucks to mini-culture camps. Several times a year we take
field trips to attend Vietnamese cultural events. We also celebrate
a number of holidays together, including Vietnamese New Year, the
Autumn Festival, and Halloween. Guest lecturers include Dana Sachs,
author of "Dream Street."
Join
