Post-Adoption Family Support
Even before working in the adoption field, I spoke with people about adoption. With 25 years of personal adoption experience, about 15 years in the adoption field and over 7 years as a birth grandmother....who better to turn to for guidance, advice and support when adoption issues or relationships need a little extra help.
(**Support services to birthparents provided free of charge)
What is adoption?
