Connect with Adoption Support
Sometimes the most helpful resource is connecting with others who understand adoption firsthand. We offer two online adoption support options:
- Creating a Family Facebook Support Group: Our large, facilitated online support community via a closed facebook group brings together adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, and prospective adoptive parents. It’s a place to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from the perspectives of all members of the adoption triad.
- Online Post-Adoption Support Group: Our facilitated online group gives adoptive parents a more focused space to connect with other families, talk through the realities of parenting after adoption, and find encouragement and practical support. Email info@creatingafamily.org for more information.
