We provide adoption specific services, including preadoption education, adoption home studies, navigating the system, advanced learning opportunities, and coaching for families looking to adopt children through the child welfare system.
Deciding to grow your family through adoption from the foster care system is an exciting choice for families.
Once prospective adoptive parents begin this complicated and intimidating journey, they realize how they may need assistance and support.
We are here to support your journey to grow, blend and heal your family.
You may feel frustrated with the process of adopting a child through the foster care system.
You are having a difficult time getting anyone to call you back after you have chosen a child in which you expressed an interest in adopting.
There is the embarrassment over how your adopted child is behaving at home, in school and/or in the community.
Likely, you have tried everything you can think of to help. Maybe you tried reading self-help books. Maybe you researched the topic online and watched videos on the topic, but nothing has worked.
We want to offer you a new kind of experience— one that is truly welcoming, nonjudgemental and supportive of you.

We believe you need to be at the center of this process and trust the professionals with whom you are working.
You are not defined by your parenting struggles.
We are equipped to meet you “right where you are” and offer a safe, non-judgmental place to regain direction. It takes special people to recognize how abuse, neglect and involvement in the foster care system impacts a child. Parenting an adopted child is multi-faceted.
