Whether you are early on in your pregnancy and decision-making process, or you have put your plan into place, it is helpful to know what ongoing support is available after an adoption. There are many support organizations across the country that want to both empower and equip birth moms on their adoption journey. This is wonderful support that can fill many needs of birth moms. However, there are some support services that can only be provided by the placing agency.

Updates and Pictures

While most birth parents and adoptive parents have direct contact, New Life can also serve as the intermediary for updates and pictures between parties. For example, if an adoptive family and a birth mother want to exchange letters and pictures a few times a year, but personal mailing addresses or email addresses have not been shared, they can send these updates through our Post Adoption Department.

Ongoing Assistance with An Adoptive Relationship

Most of the placements that happen through New Life Adoptions have some level of openness. We believe that openness is valuable for all parties involved. We also acknowledge that there can be challenges in an openness relationship, similar to any other relationship. Our Post Adoption Department is available to provide ongoing support as you navigate openness – whether that is soon after the placement or years down the road.

Reconnecting After Losing Contact

Life gets busy, and sometimes birth parents and adoptive families lose contact. Our Post Adoption Department can help get you reconnected if this happens. We will reach out to the other party to see where they are at and how things are going. From there, we can help you reestablish an ongoing relationship.

Adoption Competent Therapy

We can talk through your situation and connect you with the services and resources that best fit your needs. However, our post adoption services are not a substitute for counseling or therapy. If adoption-related matters need to be managed by a professional therapist, we will help you find appropriate referrals.

Stay Connected

Whether or not you need support at any stage of your adoption journey, we love to stay connected with all of the birth parents we work with. Keeping your information updated with us keeps you in the loop with what is going on at New Life as well as allowing us to contact you if needs arise.
