Mental Support For Birthparents, Adoptees, & Adoptive Families

If you’ve gone through or are preparing to go through the adoption process, your mind is likely abuzz with a million questions, which is completely normal.

Some of those questions may be…

How does it work?

What if I regret my decision?

Will I still be able to name my baby?

How do I choose the right adoptive family?

Should I agree to an open or closed adoption?

Am I getting all of the support necessary to make this decision?

We’re listening.

All too often, birth mothers have their involuntary rights taken away with little to zero understanding of what happened and why. 

Through private adoption agencies and other organizations, women are regularly pressured to give up their babies even when they aren’t certain about the decision they’re making.

If you’re someone who is preparing to or has already adopted a child, there is no clear-cut rulebook for your role either. 

You might be asking…

What should I be aware of when adopting a child of a different ethnicity?

How will having biological children affect my adopted child or children?

What if they have questions about their biological families later on?

Will I ever feel a genuine connection with the child I adopt?

When is the right time to tell them that they’re adopted?

What do I tell them about their medical history?

Your questions are valid, too.

There isn’t a ton of existing trust and transparency between adoption entities and adoptive parents. Additionally, feelings before and after adopting a child can be seriously complex, even as time passes. And there are increasingly more layers of complication when dealing with international or transracial adoption.
