Support for Parents of Multiples


A hearty thanks goes out to the Clusters Moms of Multiples Club [supporting families in southwest Chicago and the southwest suburbs].  I was fortunate to join Clusters this past week as a guest speaker.  I met several wonderful moms and was struck by the unique challenges that each of our families face.  Just to name a couple examples, one family had twins after 3 single-born kids, and another family had 2 sets of twins, resulting in 5 kids all aged 3 years old and younger!  Finding support through such a terrific organization not only provides helpful survival strategies, but also gives parents a place to share their experiences with people who can truly relate.

Clusters is a proud member of the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs [NOMOTC], as well as the Illinois Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs [IOMOTC].  2009 is an exciting year for Clusters; the club is hosting the IOMOTC Spring Workshop April 18, as well as the Annual IOMOTC Convention October 16-18.  Both events are sure to be exciting and enlightening; good luck to Clusters in their preparations!
