Because adoption is a lifelong journey.
Children's Home supports people of all ages who have a connection to adoption: adopted persons, their families, and the broader adoption community.
We're here to help you explore adoption, celebrate diversity and connect with others in the post-adoption community. We believe everyone impacted by adoption and each member of the adoption circle deserves consideration and can benefit from access to lifelong support, education and resources.
Our Post-Adoption opportunities are specially designed to help you as an individual—and your extended family and community—connect with personal identity, history, experience and culture.
Children’s Home provides the following Post-Adoption Services regardless of your placing agency:
