Triplet Connection Convention is the only national annual event of its kind for triplets and higher order multiple families, rotating to a new U.S. city each year. The convention is associated with The Triplet Connection www.tripletconnection.org which is the oldest international non-profit organization offering a network of education, sharing and support for parents expecting or raising triplets or larger multiples. In addition, the group houses a comprehensive database, available to medical professionals and others involved in higher order multiple research. The group was founded by Janet Bleyl, mother of 10 children including identical triplets, so that others would have access to information and emotional support she did not. Member families live throughout the U.S., Canada and abroad on every continent. For information about the organization, contact The Triplet Connection, PO Box 429, Spring City, UT 84662; 435-851-1105; tc@tripletconnection.org.
