Post-Adoption Support
Within the United States, many adoptive families are discovering that their children come with unique challenges that extend beyond the traditional needs of a child. These challenges often involve significant mental, emotional, and physical difficulties that families are not always prepared to handle. The trauma that these children may have experienced before adoption can manifest in a variety of ways, making it difficult for adoptive parents to know how best to support their children.
As a result families can feel overwhelmed, ill-equipped, and alone.
It is our goal to empower families by creating a supportive and understanding community that can offer them the tools and resources they need. Through ongoing educational workshops, we hope to equip adoptive parents with a deeper understanding of how developmental trauma affects their children, enabling them to respond with empathy and more effective strategies.
Families should never feel alone in their journey.
Our vision is to build a community where parents can access ongoing resources, find comfort in knowing they are not alone, and connect with others who truly understand their experiences. Ultimately, we strive to create an environment where both children and families can thrive and heal together.
“The capacity to love cannot be built in isolation.” -Dr. Bruce Perry
The Church
The church plays an important role in the success of adoptive families, we want to educate them on how to take a supportive stance of adoption by understanding the needs of their families and how they can best serve them. When answering the command to care for the orphans, we believe this extends beyond adoption finalization.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”.
James 1:27
