Attachment Parenting is a philosophy that emphasizes responsiveness to a child's emotional needs, encouraging the development of trust that those needs will be met. We believe that this strong early attachment will help our children develop secure, empathic, peaceful, and enduring relationships.

Attachment Parenting International (API) is a non-profit organization that networks with parents and professionals around the world. In addition to providing guidance for local Attachment Parenting support groups, API provides educational materials, research information, and consultative services to promote Attachment Parenting. 

API of East Portland, Oregon offers a supportive environment for the discussion of attachment parenting issues.  We meet to share our experiences and to brainstorm together about our parenting—successes and challenges alike.

Meetings are held the fourth Friday of every month at 10:30 AM.  We are no longer meeting at Zenana Spa.  Our new meeting location will be announced soon!  The June 26 meeting will be a Park Day at Sewallcrest Park (just south of Hawthorne and SE 31st).
