Support After Adoption
Adoption is a loving choice that offers positive benefits to you and your child. It also includes aspects of sadness and loss. This is normal and is a part of handling an unexpected pregnancy – no matter what plan you make for your baby, there are things you will gain and things you will lose. As part of your adoption planning process, you and your Birthparent Counselor can talk about the kinds of normal losses involved in adoption, what kinds of sadness may follow saying goodbye to a baby, and how to take care of yourself now and in the future, so that you feel prepared for what you might feel and can be patient with yourself during the healing process.
We also offer post-adoption counseling, both individually and through connecting you with other birthparents, to help you heal by talking with other women who have made adoption plans for their children and are using their experience in positive and life-changing ways.
All post-adoption services area available to you, free of charge, regardless of when you placed your child for adoption.
