A Word from our Co-Founder

November Newsletter


As we embrace this season of gratitude, I want to wish each of you a warm and joyous Thanksgiving. May it be filled with the love of family, friends, and the shared hope that we all carry for strong resilient families.


This fall has been full of learning and growth. In October, I began shadowing the Bright Paths facilitator for parenting classes to dive deeper into their curriculum. As November unfolds, I'm excited to share that officially facilitating weekly parenting classes at women's services, It has been inspiring and challenging as I work diligently with some incredible mothers, guiding them on their journey to treatment centers and brighter futures.


Thank you for your unwavering support for Moms Adopting Moms. Your belief in our mission is what makes these steps forward possible.


Enjoy your Thanksgiving with those cherish!

With gratitude,

Chistina Arcesi
