A lovely day yesterday with our ARC Adoption families at the Rising Sun Country Park ✨.

We made Autumm leaf crowns (as modelled by the lovely Lynn 💁‍♀️) with golden leaves and foliage gathered on our walk to the farm, and we enjoyed treats from the bakery 🍂.

These get-togethers in school holidays provide an opportunity for children and their parents to come together for fun and companionship with other families who have adoption in common, as well as to have an informal catch up with members of the ARC Adoption team. As commented yesterday by one of our families – a safe space 💛.

Thank you to everyone who came along – Lauren, Lynn and Colleen loved seeing you all 🤗.

Yesterday it was brilliant to join Creative Minds - North Star Counselling CIC for Crystal Club sessions with some of our children and young people 🩷.

The aim of the sessions was to create a safe, nurturing space to connect, express ourselves and simply BE. As a group we focused on relaxation and breath work to bring a sense of calm, and enjoyed the connection of massage, and restorative properties of meditation. The children and young people made their own Crystal healing jar to take home too 🫙.

Comments and reactions from the day included:

💬 Can we do this again?

😴 This lavender smell will help me sleep

💭 Amazement at how many breaths we take a day without thinking

It was amazing to see our young people let their guard down and embrace everything the session had to offer 👏. Thank you so much to Nicole and Jo for sharing some of their Crystal Club magic with us ✨.

For anyone interested in future Crystal Club and creative group sessions for children and young people, check out Creative Minds FB and Instagram pages 🤗.

This National Adoption Week is a particularly special one for adopters Ikki and Zac, who are celebrating as dads for the first time ❤️.

Since welcoming their son Riley home, they've experienced all the joys, challenges and learning that come with adoption – and have loved watching their family of three grow together 🏡.

Sending a shout out to all of the ARC families who have come together this past year - just like Ikki, Zac and Riley 🫶.

Could you give a child a permanent, stable and loving home? If you'd like to learn more about adoption and the ongoing support available from ARC, please get in touch via our website 🔗:
