Welcome!

Has your family adopted a daughter from China?  Welcome to a new group dedicated to providing positive activities for chinese daughters adopted into caucasian families.  Moms and dads can have a coffee or tea and chat while the kids learn about chinese culture or get to meet and chat with positive chinese female role models.  Guest speakers include police officers, doctors, lawyers, etc.  Movies, music, dance, picnics, scavenger hunts and crafts are also planned.   We anticipate organizing at least one activity a month.

We also have information about resources available in the community, should you wish to further your daughter's cultural education about China.  We can offer links to Mandarin or Cantonese classes for children and for adults, chinese dance classes, cultural clubs, recipes, parenting advice, book recommendations, clothing and toy resources and exchanges, etc.

If interested in participating in this group, or would like to know more about the resources available in your community, please contact Marie at daughtersfromchina@gmail.com to request membership.

Please note that activities will not be posted here, for privacy reasons.  They will be communicated in a safe manner, protecting the security and privacy of our members.

Our group is currently based out of Ottawa.  If you live elsewhere and would like to start a group in your region, please contact us!
