The Adoptive Families Association of BC (AFABC) and the Adoption Council of
Canada (ACC) are pleased to invite you to our second parent retreat. If you are an
adoptive parent of a child, youth, or adult who is suspected of having or has been
diagnosed with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), we hope that you will join
us. As a parent-led organization, we know the importance for parents to have a
chance to come together with those who understand and care.

This retreat is planned to provide opportunities to share stories of challenges and triumphs,
to listen and to learn, and to enjoy time away. Most important, though, is the chance to
develop friendships and support. We hope that you will find a way to join us at this retreat
planned just for you.

While we realize that finding child care can be difficult, the event is for adults only. Register early as space is limited.
