Adoption

Adoption, I heard someone say, is not for the faint of heart. Couples who adopt face challenges unknown to other parents, often before the decision to adopt is being made. Loss related to infertility, navigating the unpredictable nature of the adoption process, or troublesome behaviors as the child is getting older make adoption a path to family unlike any other. It requires courage, perseverance and a strong dose of faith. I support adoptive families when there isn’t enough left of either to keep going.

Areas I work with:

• Infertility
• Pre-adoption counseling
• Post-adoption anxiety and depression
• Parenting children with special needs
