Adoption

 The adoption triad consists of:
1) The birthparent(s);
2) The adoptive parents,
and 3) The adoptee.
All three represent a unique
part of each and every
adoption that takes place. Are
you in one of these situations,
struggling with some facet of
an adoption?
Couples considering adoption
may have many questions about what adoption is and whether or not
it is right for them. Maybe you are a single person wanting to adopt a
child, or possibly a relative considering adopting a niece, nephew or
grandchild. Families come in all shapes and sizes, and we know it is
often a difficult decision with many things to consider. Our therapists
will help dispel the myths surrounding adoption. They will help you sift
through any barriers to your possible adoption, or even issues
resulting from an adoption. There are no two stories alike. What will
yours be?
You might be the person (birthparent) who wants to plan an
adoption for an unwanted pregnancy. You might not believe in
abortion, but you know you cannot give your child a proper life at this
time. Still, you want him or her to grow up in a good family that can
provide everything he or she needs. This decision is one of the
hardest and it is, by far, one of the most selfless acts of love in
existence. Your therapist can guide you through this decision process
and help you with resources if you decide to plan the gift of adoption
for your baby.
As an adoptee, you may have many unanswered questions, or
mixed feelings about the fact that you are adopted. The most
prevalent question, "Why did my mother give me up?" is often a
difficult one to understand. Maybe your birthmother loved you too
much to keep you in her life situation at the time.
