July Support Group
The guest speakers and the families attending our STC support groups continue to just wow me with their insight and passion. Our guest speakers this month were Ms. Patricia Jackson and her remarkable adopted twins, Alexis and Alesia.
Ms. Jackson is a previous foster parent and adoptive mother of 5 children. (Her experience goes way back to HRS days). She also has 12 year old biological son and has sponsored an adoptive parent's support group in Hillsborough County.
Alexis and Alesia have overcome struggles that started at birth. Today they are Howard University bound. They shared their story, insights gained on their remarkable journey as well as the questions and issues they still face.
Last month Alexis and Alesia participated in our Teen Scene meeting winning over all of the youth in attendance.
