Adoption Support

Adoption Support

With over 30 years of experience, I've been dedicated to serving the adoption and foster care community, witnessing the cultural shifts and evolving practices within adoption. Today, more adoptions are open, allowing adopted children to maintain connections with their birth families—a practice shown to benefit both parties, unless exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. Most adopted individuals yearn to understand their story, which is crucial for nurturing their racial identity and comprehending their adoption journey.


In addition to open adoptions, many families embrace interracial adoption, welcoming children of different ethnicities into their homes. Understanding and navigating your child's experience in this context is an integral part of the adoption journey. This is where expert support and clinical services come into play, especially from a therapist well-versed in the intricate complexities of adoption.


My Adoption Support service is meticulously crafted to offer guidance, empathy, and practical assistance tailored to your unique circumstances. Every adoption journey is different, whether it involves international adoption, domestic private adoption, or older child adoption from foster care. I'm committed to adapting 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, my service provides comprehensive resources and strategies to enhance your confidence and knowledge. From parent education on attachment to ongoing support throughout the adoptive family cycle, I'm here to help you navigate every step of the way.


For adult adoptees, therapy offers a safe space to explore complex emotions and identity issues. It's a place to untangle what is related to adoption and what is not, providing clarity and understanding.


Additionally, I offer coaching for those considering growing their families through adoption. Deciding to adopt is a life-changing journey filled with excitement and challenges. My Adoption Support service offers essential guidance for anyone embarking on or considering adoption, addressing questions about adoption types, differences between public and private adoption, and requirements for adopting older children.
