With over 30 years of dedicated service to the adoption and foster care community, I've witnessed the shifting cultural perspectives and evolving practices surrounding adoption. Today, we see a rise in open adoptions, allowing adopted children to maintain connections with their birth families—a practice shown to benefit both parties, barring extenuating circumstances. From my experience, most adopted individuals seek to understand their unique story, which plays a vital role in nurturing their racial identity and comprehending their adoption journey.

Moreover, many adoptions are interracial, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for families. Understanding and navigating your child's experience in such situations is integral to the adoption process. This is where expert support and clinical services prove invaluable, especially from a therapist well-versed in the intricacies of adoption.

Our Adoption Support Service is meticulously designed to offer guidance, empathy, and practical assistance to individuals and families embarking on adoption journeys. Recognizing that no two adoptions or families are alike, I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet your individual needs, ensuring you receive the personalized care necessary to navigate any challenges you may encounter.

Beyond addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of adoption, we provide comprehensive resources and strategies to enhance your confidence and knowledge. From parent education on attachment to ongoing support throughout the adoptive family cycle, we're here to help you every step of the way.

For adult adoptees, therapy provides a safe space to explore complex emotions and identity issues, offering clarity and understanding in navigating the complexities of adoption.

Additionally, I offer coaching for those considering growing their families through adoption. Deciding to adopt is a life-changing decision, and the journey can be both exciting and overwhelming. Our Adoption Support Service is essential for anyone considering or going through the adoption process, providing guidance on adoption types, differences between public and private adoption, and requirements for adopting older children.
