Women with Foreign Partners

(wwfp)

Support and friendship for US women
(and their partners)
Orange County, California
living with or married to immigrants
 

Organized by Julia Ferguson Andriessen
 

WHY
Because cross cultural relationships can be chaotic, crazy, confusing
nerve wracking and lonely

The main focus of the group is to bring women together to gain support
and friendship with other women who understand the challenges involved
with having a foreign partner.

Cross cultural relationships keep us on our toes and it helps to have others to share
the challenges and the laughter!

  The suggested language for the gatherings is English to allow the widest possible participation.

Maarten and I started a dinner group for Expats with Dutch partners while living in the Netherlands
 and I found the women wanted the chance to meet up and talk sometimes without the men present.
There was also a  Women with Dutch Partners group in Amsterdam that met to support the women
but rarely offered gatherings for the couples.

My goal for this group is to combine the two concepts 

1.  Regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year for support and sharing for the women
2.  Parties, BBQ's, Picnics, Movie Nights etc for the couples to meet and build friendships

I do this on a volunteer basis and there is no cost to join or participate.
 

WHEN and WHERE
The schedule and locations will be provided via email after
you have contacted me and shared your interest. The database
of members is confidential and not released to anyone.

This is a new group and will no doubt change and evolve based
on member participation and the number of people.
