My wife Sarah Coomber and I adopted our son Daniel from India at the age of 3. As Sarah and I have journeyed through the process of finding the support we need to care for a child with special needs, one thing that’s been particularly helpful is the dad’s conversation group that Jeremy Van Pelt and I started in early 2019. It has truly been a rewarding experience to connect with and learn from other dads who are experiencing similar parenting situations. And having recently participated in Parent Helper training, I now have a fresh lens with which to offer support to the other dads that I come into contact with.

Thank you for the training and equipping that you are doing in this important area! — Jon Suomala
