Local Support Groups

Separated from your 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  grief and loss, depression,  and trauma — or the experiences of separation, search, reunion, and post-reunion relationship and family-rebuilding?
