Adoptive agency to host summer BBQ

The Western Intercountry Adoption Organisation (WIAO ) is inviting adoptive families, their wider family, and their friends to its summer BBQ on Sunday May 18 in the Cloonacanueen Castle, Tuam Road, Galway. It promises to be a great day with an entertainer, games, bouncy castles, kids disco, and a delicious BBQ for all. If you would like to attend please email [email protected]. WIAO has a membership of over 200 adoptive families, with children who are either internationally or domestically adopted. The children range in age from two years to late teens. The group’s aim is to provide a support network for families who share the experience of adoption. They want to enable children to develop to their full potential with a strong sense of identity and self-esteem. In order to achieve these aims WIAO understands the importance and beneficial nature of organising educational and social events. WIAO welcomes new members.
