When parenting children who are in foster care or were adopted, it is important to have others around you who understand the challenges presented. Matters of the Heart recognizes the importance of community support and we offer support groups at different times and locations so you can gather with other foster/adoptive families and you are not “going it alone.”

If you are a foster parent, talk with your agency about providing financial support towards your participation in the support group. We also offer support to foster and adoptive parents in, Landisville, Lancaster, Elizabethtown , Harrisburg and Hershey, PA.

Every adoptive parent in PA is eligible for support through the State Wide Adoption Network (SWAN). Contact SWAN online at SWAN or by calling 800-585-SWAN

You can request support group services through Pressley Ridge, Coby’s Family Services or Bethany Christian Services which will cover the cost of attending any of our support groups. SWAN also offers case management support and respite opportunities.
Salunga/Landisville Location: This support group is facilitated by Dorothy Cavalcanti and adoptive mom and previous foster parent. We meet at 53 W Brandt Blvd on the 3rd Monday of the month from 6:30-8pm RSVP is required to Elaine@mohinfo.com
