Adoption
Adoption can be a meaningful and life-changing path to motherhood—but it often comes with emotional complexity and unknowns. Whether you’re exploring adoption, coping with waiting periods, navigating relationships with birth/placing families, grieving a broken match, or adjusting after placement, therapy can help you process emotions, make empowered decisions, and feel supported throughout.
