      <title>Waiting and Newly Adoptive Families Meeting (English) (Thursday, October 15, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://www.afhk.org.hk/resources/Pictures/WNAF%20Meeting%20-%20Website%20Generic%20English.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Waiting and Newly Adoptive Families (WNAF) Group&lt;/strong&gt; is a warm, informal gathering for people at every stage of the adoption journey. Whether you’re actively in the process, still exploring whether adoption might be right for you, or you’ve welcomed a child through adoption within the last nine months—you’re welcome here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We’ll share ideas and practical tips on what you can do to prepare while you’re applying, during the waiting period, and in the time before adoption is finalized. It’s also a wonderful chance to ask questions in a supportive, safe environment—especially to our host team, who have been through the process themselves, and to others who are navigating similar concerns.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This group is &lt;strong&gt;very interactive&lt;/strong&gt;, with plenty of time for conversation, questions, and answers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Host: Megan Kincaid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#414141" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Megan and her husband have two sons and a daughter, all adopted locally in Hong Kong. They first connected with AFHK in 2019 as they began their adoption journey and have stayed connected through the Waiting and Newly Adoptive Families calls and through the Family Fun Days. As Megan cares for her three young children and their unique stories, strengths and challenges, she has continued to her parenting education through books, podcasts and courses.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;WNAF events are open to :&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;members and non-members of AFHK&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;families who are in the process of adoption or considering adoption&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;families matched within the last nine months&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Participants may opt to receive a&lt;/font&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Certificate of Attendance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;font&gt;which will note your participation and the topic of this meeting. We hope this may support an adoption or foster application by demonstrating an ongoing commitment to learning about the needs of parenting a child through adoption or fostering. The certificate will cost HKD45 and be emailed directly to you after you attend the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
