Friends of Adoption was started to bring adopted children (domestic or international) and their families together with other adopted children and families. We will meet regularly at rotating locations around the metro Detroit area where the kids can play and the grown-ups can chat and hopefully make some lasting friendships.

We are a diverse group of parents, Stay At Home, Working, or a combination of working in and out of the home, who love getting together to laugh and play as we navigate parenting in the Ann Arbor area.  We participate in many activities together including playdates in members' homes, playdates in the community and family themed events on the weekends.  We also have parents-only events that include a book club, mom’s night out, dad's night out and couple's night out.  Most of our members have you …

This group is to help support each other in our efforts to be active, healthy role models for our children. It’s not easy to get out of the house some days, but when you are committed and have support from peers, you become much more motivated. Physical activity and social activity are both healthy for parents and children alike.  For the fall season, we'll discover farms, orchards, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and parks in and around Ann Arbor.  We'll ice skate, sled, hike, bounce, swim, dance, …

We started this group because we are ready to meet other families  in the area. It seems like there are a lot of groups that are either focused on just Moms or just kids. There aren't many that have activities for Parents (Moms and Dads), playdates, and family activities. Suggestions from members will be the key to all of it so I hope you are ready to get involved! We wanted a group that could do it all, and other things we think sound like fun as we go along. Let's have some fun!

We are an Ann Arbor Area support group for parents of children and teens with ADD/ADHD and adults with ADD/ADHD.  Our mission is to provide local resources, education, and support to our members.  We have been running the parent support group since July 2009, originally started by parents Vivianne Schnitzer and Olga Gallego,  beginning an adult ADD/ADHD group this Fall (Teens are also welcome). We will soon be adding a children's play group gathering on a regular basis.  We are excited to announ …

… However, we do sometimes have a family fun day, couples night out, moms night out, or other event on weekends. The entire group can be counted on to answer questions, offer advice and referrals, plan events, and just generally help to support members in the daunting task of full-time parenting. We are part of an international non-profit, MOMS Club International. Dues are $20 annually and cover the costs of parties and special programs for members as well as our chapter's dues to our internationa …

This group will give parents who are working during the day and are unable to attend many playgroups scheduled during the working hours the opportunity to meet other mommies and daddies with the similar challenges. It will give the children an opportunity to play with other children, socialize and make many new friends. It is geared towards working parents, but not inclusive of them. Most events will be scheduled after working hours and on weekends.  The majority of the kids in the group are bet …

I have been a painting instructor for Michael's and workshops at a couple local galleries. Additionally, I wrote lesson plans for Michaels painting instructors used nationwide. Recently I set these aside to care for my elderly mother. I now only paint portraiture on commission, which can be a lonely existance! I miss the kids most of all. Just love their cheerful faces when they are painting and drawing.  Parents! This is a wonderful time spent with your child.  This group is intended to bridge …
