Adoptive Families Together (AFT) provides education, advocacy, training, and support to families, professionals and communities about the unique circumstances inherent in the adoption experience. Our network includes families who have adopted children of all ages and races, domestically and internationally, children of kin and children with special needs. We welcome adopted individuals, birth parents, foster parents, guardians, professionals and all those touched by adoption. AFT’s focus is on child-centered parenting, parent empowerment, and peer-to-peer connections.
Education & Training
Parent Support Groups
AFT hosts 7 parent led confidential groups to share personal concerns and needs around adoptive parenting. We also welcome adopted individuals, birth parents, foster parents, Kin parents and all those with a connection to adoption. These are ongoing groups that meet once a month. Feel free to drop in! Groups are meeting monthly in communities in Massachusetts. To learn more about our Parent Support Groups, or to get dates and the location of a group in your area, please call us at (800) 277-5387 or click on the group schedule below: AFT Group Schedule
Due to recent COVID-19 developments, all AFT groups have been suspended at this time.
