Local Support Groups

Separated from a child or parent by adoption? Struggling with grief, loss, trauma? Need search or reunion support? Thinking about adoption for your child and wondering about the consequences? We offer in-person support groups for natural parents, adoptees, and others separated from family by adoption. Are you looking for support in dealing with the consequences of adoption-separation, such as traumatic grief and loss, depression, PTSD, or the experiences of separation, search, reunion, and post-reunion relationship and family-rebuilding?
