Adoption is a lifelong journey- we are here to walk with you if you adopted 2 years ago or 15 years ago! If you or your child is struggling, we are here to help. Check out these resources below which we highly recommend for all adoptive families:
The Connected Child: Bring hope and healing to your adoptive
family(available on Amazon
