About Us: The Tacoma Parents of Multiples

Tacoma Parents of Multiples [TPOM] is a nonprofit (501c3) organization open to all parents or gaurdians of multiple-birth children. Our membership area covers Tacoma and the surrounding Pierce County area.

Since 1969, TPOM has continued to be a vital resource for support, education and providing a social network for mothers and fathers of multiples.

TPOM began as a manifistation of a dream of four mothers of twins who came to know each other through a magazine article along with the National Organization's assistance in "piecing them together". Since then, TPOM has been an active organizational member of the Northwest Association of Twins Club and National Organization. Membership in TPOMC automatically bestows membership in both of these organizations.

There are many benefits to membership with TPOM:

Unlimited Parenting Educational Resources for Multiples

• Subscription to TPOMC's monthly newsletter, The Tacoma Twinformer, keeping you updated on TPOM happenings, interesting articles and more!
• Subscription to the National Organization of Mother's of Twins Club's quarterly publication, Notebook, featuring educational information on multiples as well as interesting feature articles.
• Ability to check out our personal library of books on parenting multiples.

Support & Networking

• Monthly meetings offer not only great educational topics and speakers, but an opportunity for you to connect with other parents of multiples as well. You will discover it is extremely beneficial to discuss the issues you encounter in raising multiples with another parent of multiples-because sometimes it just helps to talk to someone who has been there!

• Unlimited access 24/7 to other parents just like you where you can discuss joys and challenges plus gain access to our online library of resources, helpful links, plus more!
