CHANGE TO FEBRUARY MEETING
on Wednesday 5th February
Unfortunately, Pam Bolton is unable to come to Casterton this Wednesday.
The speaker will now be Jo Horsley telling the story of her adoption entitled 'The Girl in the Purple Dress'.
She will talk about the adoption process, how it impacts those involved and will include some of her own experiences which she has recorded in her book.
Jo Horsley's story begins as a small child being rocked by her mother, as she struggles to hand Jo to the adoption agency. Through school and work, heartbreak and marriage, love and loss, Jo discovers more about herself and builds a life that embraces all definitions of the word 'family'. Her story hasn't ended, and there's so much more to come...
