Seas The Connection

Seas the Connection is a community-based support organization based in the Tampa Bay area where ALL mothers of adoptive and foster children are welcome. We seek to serve fellow foster and adoptive moms by providing respite retreats in the Tampa Bay area and beyond!

How did STC begin and what should I expect?

Our roots are in Florida, and we as women and moms recognize the healing power of the sea for both mental and emotional care. Seas The Connection was inspired by our original venue, Little Harbor Resort in Ruskin, Florida for its seaside atmosphere and resort amenities as we believe this type of location best meets our goal of providing foster and adoptive moms with the most relaxing and connecting weekend ever! As we expand into a variety of states, every venue we choose carries our goals of providing a relaxing waterfront atmosphere to the moms we serve.

Unlike most adoptive parent retreats and conventions, STC is a casual, informal, Air BnB-type girls weekend, resting and connecting with other adoptive and foster moms who understand your life. An inspirational adoptive mom guest and speaker will join us as a valuable resource, while we spend extended time together and sharing our stories.

Seas the Connection was created with you in mind! No matter what you need to recharge and relax, you are welcome to here. There are no obligations for to be anywhere or do anything. We provide you with a relaxing atmosphere, fabulous speaker, delicious food, mom connections and all the peace you can imagine.
