The First Year Home Group

The First Year Home Group is a support and education group for parents and their internationally adopted young children. Patty Cogen began leading the groups in l997. Since that time over two hundred families and their children have benefited from the early guidance and information the group provides.

The group is an opportunity for parents to learn about the development of their children and how to use parenting strategies uniquely designed for children who have had foster and/or orphanage care.

At present, the group is only available in the Seattle area. Please call Laura Stone, for more information at (206) 498-9895
