 We are having a major influx of members trying to join from abroad. Parents from places such as America. For the past few months ive been deleting them as i had always thought the advice we share is based on the UK System such as education and benefits and healthcare. But am i doing the right thing? Could we allow a seperate section for international members or would it complicate things? Would allowing international members help bring new ideas to the table? See im in a pickle here so really would like your views  Im also starting a poll ![[Image: smalldis2.png]](http://www.parentsofdisabledchildren.co.uk/images/smalldis2.png) Our Irish members can also use our new website for Ireland which is |

I'm on a separate group for my children's condition Cri-du-chat syndrome and quite frankly i wouldn't know anything about the affects on my children if it weren't for them, so yes i would agree to them being on this site. Obviously they couldn't comment on benefits etc but they would be able to advise and communicate with other parents with children that have the same conditions.

So from a support point of view then yes i agree it has benefits.
But lets assume we got a strong following from America and they all started talking about there procedures there would it not add an element of confusion? And also would the country divide possibly lead to a them and us divide? Our Irish members can also use our new website for Ireland which is |
