How to Join or Contact Charlotte Moms of Multiples (CMOMS)

Updated

Charlotte Moms of Multiples (CMOMS) accepts new members through its website and by email. Membership is open to any household where multiples spend most of their time, or to expectant parents of multiples, with one membership per household. Annual dues are $30 for new and renewing members, $20 for Crown Club members (5+ consecutive years), and $0 for Lifetime Club members (10+ consecutive years). To join, use the "Become a Member" area of the site; for membership questions, email [email protected].

Who Can Join

CMOMS is not limited to mothers. The group welcomes all primary caregivers of multiples, including moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and foster parents. Membership categories described on the site include:

  • Soon-to-be moms of multiples
  • New moms of multiples
  • Moms of toddler-to-teenager multiples
  • Empty nester moms of multiples
  • Moms of multiple multiples

Eligibility is based on the household: membership is open to all homes where multiples spend most of their time, or to expectant parents of multiple birth children. One membership is allowed per household.

Membership Costs

Membership Type Annual Dues Condition
New & Renewing Members $30 Brand new to CMOMS, or renewing with fewer than 5 consecutive years
Crown Club Member $20 Member for 5+ consecutive years
Lifetime Club Member $0 Member for 10+ consecutive years

A Member Assistance Program offers waived annual dues based on financial hardship criteria. The site does not state the specific criteria, so contact the membership email to ask how eligibility is determined.

How to Join: Step by Step

  1. Go to charlottemultiples.com.
  2. Find the "Become a Member" area on the site.
  3. Choose the membership path that matches your situation (new member, renewing, Crown Club, or Lifetime Club).
  4. Submit your membership request through that area.
  5. Expect to pay annual dues of $30 as a new member, unless you qualify for the Member Assistance Program.

Expected result: Your household is registered as a CMOMS member, giving you access to the group's support services and local network.

How to Contact CMOMS

  • Membership questions and sign-up help: [email protected]
  • Before joining, to get a feel for the network: use the "Connect With a Local Mom" option on the site to be put in touch with a local mom of multiples.

If you are unsure which dues tier applies to you, or whether you qualify for financial assistance, email the membership address rather than guessing — the site lists the tiers but not the full assistance criteria.

What You Get as a Member

CMOMS describes itself as the #1 support group for multiple birth families in the Greater Charlotte area, spanning the Queen City and surrounding suburbs and serving hundreds of members. Founded in 1960, the group focuses on support, friendship, and community service, and runs outreach, scholarship, and member assistance programs, plus contributions to local charities such as KinderMourn and area NICUs.

Member feedback on the site describes the practical value: one member, Stephanie B., said she "couldn't have made it through that first year without being able to talk to other CMOMS about 'twin' issues."

Common Questions Before You Join

Do I have to be a mom? No. The site explicitly welcomes all primary caregivers of multiples, including dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and foster parents.

Can my partner and I both join? Membership is one per household, so a single membership covers your home.

What if I can't afford dues? The Member Assistance Program waives annual dues based on financial hardship criteria. Email [email protected] for details, since the criteria are not published on the site.

I'm still pregnant with multiples — can I join now? Yes. Soon-to-be moms of multiples are a listed membership category, and expectant parents of multiple birth children are explicitly eligible.
