Join us for an afternoon of fall fun at Galey Farms in Victoria!
We'll meet outside the entrance area at 1:00 p.m.—just look for the volunteer holding a Belonging Network sign. If you have trouble finding the group, feel free to text the contact number below. From there, we'll head into the corn maze and start exploring the farm's seasonal activities together.
This informal gathering is open to adoptive parents, grandparents, children, and families of all backgrounds, whether through local or international adoption.
Important notes:
• Please purchase your tickets in advance directly from Galey Farms' website
• Ticket rates will be available in late summer or early fall
• This event is not capped, but advance purchase is strongly encouraged
• Additional info and updates may also be posted on their Instagram page

Why join the Face to Face Connections events? Connecting with other adoptive and permanency families can bring real benefits. Meeting others who share similar experiences can ease feelings of isolation, deepen your understanding of your child’s unique needs, and boost your confidence as a parent or caregiver. Through these connections, you can build a strong support network within a community that genuinely understands and supports your journey.
For children and youth, these gatherings foster a unique sense of belonging. Connecting with peers who truly “get it” helps them feel understood. Sharing stories with others who have similar experiences can boost self-esteem and build friendships, making it easier—and much less lonely—to navigate complex emotions.
