Post Adoption Services
At Child Adoptions, we realize that adoption is a lifelong journey and different adoption-related needs arise throughout the years. New Life is committed to offering birth parents, adopted adults, and adoptive families support any time after your adoption is complete.
Our Post Adoption department is here to assist you in seeking answers to your questions, searching for your birth family or the child you placed for adoption, reconnecting after you have lost contact, or exploring opportunities for new levels of openness.
Post Adoption Services
Child Adoption’s 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.
Correspondence
While many birth parents and adoptive parents correspond with each other directly, New Life can also serve as the intermediary for correspondence between parties. For example, if an adoptive family and a birth parent want to exchange letters and pictures a few times a year but personal mailing addresses have not been shared, Child Adoption Adoptions can facilitate correspondence.
Requesting Non-identifying Background Information from My File
If you are an adopted adult or a parent of a minor adopted child you may request a summary of the social and medical background information regarding the adopted person’s birth family. This summary is compiled from information located in the file at the time of placement. It may include information about the birth family such as physical descriptions, ethnic background, religious affiliation, education level, talents, or hobbies. No identifying information about the birth family will be included in this summary.
