I also help with the technical aspect of adoption.

If you are unsure about whether or not adoption is right for you, I will explain the process and give you more information to help you make that decision. I will show you how to learn about the process so that by the time our work is completed, you too will be an expert.

If you’re trying to understand how your adoption has impacted you, I’m here to help with at as well. As an adoption consultant, I have experience counseling both prospective parents and adopted children, teens and adults. I offer more than just a framework for adoption services. I can also focus with you on the emotional and psychological issues associated with adoption.

I counsel my clients throughout the adoption and placement process. I can do this by helping you find the best agency and/or attorney that can assist you to safely and ethically adopt a child. I am your exclusive advocate and counselor. I will explain the process, which can be complicated and feel overwhelming. I will help you feel empowered to become the best parent you can, through education and concrete support.

I am there when you:

• Are trying to decide whether or not adoption is the best way for you to expand your family.

• Want to know the difference between adopting domestically and internationally and what each entails.

• Need to choose an agency and/or an adoption attorney.

• Want to know the difference between foster care, independent adoption, agency adoption and adoption facilitated by an attorney.

• You have already adopted and want to know the best way to introduce your child to your family.

• Your child is old enough to ask questions about his/her adoption story and you need guidance on how to do this.

• Address whether or not adoption is your best option

• Help you to assemble and complete the often complicated and required paperwork

• Examine questions of gender, cultural, racial and religious differences

• Evaluate questions of attachment
