MUMS is a National Parent to Parent Network whose mission is to help parents who have a child with any disorder, medical condition, mental or emotional disorder or rare diagnosis make connections with other parents whose children have the same or similar condition. If possible matches are made according to age, geographical location, gender, and severity of the symptoms.
I ordered my connection on 9/25/06 but the email was full and I'll let you know if there is a response. Please let me know if this worked for any of you. Thanks.

GA-ParentNetwork
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ga-parentnetwork/
The GA-ParentNetwork is an online discussion group designed exclusively for parents/guardians of children with disabilities in the state of Georgia. Parents/Guardians of adult dependents are also welcome. The purpose is to allow communication between families on the common issues we share, so as to better support, advocate, and influence change for our children. We offer resource directories in our State along with information on Education, Medicaid, insurance and more.
I personally have found this group to be very informative and supportive. I think I've been on the group for about 5-6 years since we moved here and Corey was diagnosed. It is well worth your time to enter this group. Parents are one of our greatest resources.
