Adoptive Families - A Lifelong Adoption Resource

Our guest blogger is Rachel Curley, FLS Adoption Caseworker!  Rachel has worked in our office for two years and has prior experience providing foster care for children in Thailand.

I want to take a moment to tell you about my favorite adoption website. That’s right, my favorite! There is a lot of information out there on the internet to weed through. You might ask yourself how do I know this is accurate information or that this is really what adoption looks like.

I would encourage you to check out, Adoptive Families, the online adoption and parenting guide that has provided trusted adoption information and inspiration to families for over 30 years. Their website is comprised of articles and information put together by the experts in the field, adoptive parents, adoptees, birth parents, and adoption professionals such as adoption attorneys, doctors, and social workers. This site offers a wealth of insightful, thought provoking information about adoption.

You will find articles about the home study process, naming your child, communicating with birthparents, talking about adoption, and the list goes on. Whether you are just getting started on the journey of adoption, or you adopted fifteen years ago, you will find something to speak to where you are at on this website.
