Adoption Process Counseling
I'm an Adoptive Parent
Post-placement support, attachment, and parenting resources for adoptive families.
Adoption is a wonderful decision — and it can also be difficult, involving a wide range of emotions. Some parents have wonderful experiences; others face challenges and wonder how to help their child build the skills they need to thrive.
Every adoption story is unique. Continuous post-adoption counseling and resources mean adoptive parents never have to feel alone on their journey.
Common areas we work on together
- Building secure attachment across ages and stages.
- Talking about adoption in age-appropriate ways.
- Navigating open-adoption relationships with birth family.
- Trauma-informed responses to hard behaviors.
- Caring for the parents — burnout, grief, marriage strain.
