We’re here to help.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
- Peter Levine
You are not alone.
Your emotional journey doesn’t end when the adoption paperwork is signed. The experience of placing a child for adoption often carries profound feelings of grief, loss, and uncertainty for birth parents. Those feelings may persist long after you place your child with their new family.
Getting the right kind of support can make a big difference for your short and long-term mental health and well-being.
To help birth parents find the support they need after an adoption, we’ve gathered many of the best resources available in every state including birth parent-competent therapists, support groups, and in-person gatherings.
SUPPORT GROUPS
In-person and online safe spaces where birth parents can connect with each other, share their adoption stories, and find empathy, acceptance, and understanding.
THERAPISTS
Personalized support from licensed mental health professionals who understand the complexities of grief and loss after adoption. A good counselor can help you navigate the emotional challenges of adoption and equip you with tools to build healthy post-adoption relationships.

RETREATS
An opportunity to take a break from the distractions of daily life–to connect, grow, and heal with other birth parents who have walked in your shoes and understand what you’re going through.
