Resources for Adoptive Parents
Adoption takes more than good intentions — it takes committing to a unique, complex form of parenting. Our goal is to provoke you to become a lifelong learner of all things adoption. We believe in you and want to help you create a safe space for your adoptee to explore the part of their identity that is being an adoptee.
Whether you, your relatives, or your friends are going through the adoption process, these books, articles, podcasts, audiobooks, websites and social pages are great resources to help along the adoption journey.
