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.
Support is available for domestic infant adoption, international adoption, and embryo adoption.
