I’m in my mid twenties and expecting my first baby this October. None of my friends in Chicago have kids. (Nor are they on the baby track) I know everyone is excited for me and they have been completely supportive but the more pregnant I become the less we have in common. I’m starting to feel isolated and alone. This has been an extremely difficult transition for me. I’m looking to put together a group of bump buddies and new moms in the Bucktown/Wicker park area, that are in their mid to upper …

I just lost my mom to pancreatic cancer and want to gather other women like me that want to share experiences, memories, and friendship.

This group was created by a mom who left city life behind to tackle new adventures in suburbia.  And what a blessing!  HAMs has been a great resource for our beautiful children, and for ourselves as young mothers, connecting with ladies in similar life settings.

This group is for fathers of children with Aspergers Syndrome (and PDD-NOS) to get together and share the unique experience of being a father of a child with AS, and to arrange recreational activities for the kids too. The reason this is designed for fathers specifically is that almost all of the support groups I have seen on this topic are for mothers, or are dominated by mothers. Parenting AS affects men in a unique way, and Aspie kids need male presence that meets their needs too.
