| |  | | Raising one child can be overwhelming. Raising multiples can seem downright impossible! Through hope, encouragement, understanding, experience, knowledge, and humor, West Suburban MOMs provides mutual support and guidance to celebrate the rewards and meet the challenges of parenting twins, triplets and beyond. | We welcome expectant and current parents of multiples to join us in our shared adventure. We are a member of the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Club and the Illinois Organization of Mothers of Twins Club. We serve parents in Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Elmwood Park, Riverside, Berwyn and surrounding communities in the Chicago area.
| Mom2Mom Mentor Program The Mom2Mom Mentor Program is available for parents who need a direct connection for advice and help and for those who have wisdom and a shoulder to offer. You don't have to go it alone! We've got folks that have been there and done that to help you out! For more details on the program, check the Mom2Mom Information under Files at the Yahoo Forum. If you are interested in participating as a mentor or mentee, contact Kelly Soltys or Stacy McCargo, the Program Managers, at: kelly445@hotmail.com or smazz1127@yahoo.com . | Help For Parents We are always looking for ideas to make caring for multiples easier and more fun.
