Coaching for Considering Adoption
Are you discovering an interest in creating or growing your family through adoption?
Do you find yourself…
feeling curious, excited, maybe a bit nervous, and want to know more before you take the first step. We at Growing Intentional Families Together remember this part of the journey. We remember all the questions we had, including whether adoption was a fit for us. You probably have the same questions and more…
We remember how we wanted the “inside scoop” and not just the information we received from a website or an informational meeting. We wanted someone with experience who would spend time with us individually and share with us the details behind the details so we could make the best decision for us.
All of our adoption coaches are also adoptive parents or adoptees. Our adoption experience includes infant domestic adoption, private, international, transracial, foster care and older child adoption, and adoption through foster care.
Am I cut out for this? Am I too old or young to adopt?
We are a same-sex couple, what kind of challenges do we face? What options do we have?
What if my partner isn’t excited about adopting?
What are my chances of adoption if I’m single?
Which type of adoption would be best for my situation?
I have birth children, would it work to adopt?

Testimonials
Some first hand words from coaching as people considered adoption.
“I find working with my coach to be one of the most important steps I am taking preparing to adopt a child. She helps me look at issues from new perspectives, think about situations that I would not have come up with, and help find solutions to those situations. Her insight is invaluable, as she shares her experiences and provides practical advice to help ensure I am prepared for parenthood. I know my coach will be there to help me every step of the way, and feeling that support is very comforting as I prepare for adoption.”
“Simple, productive & purposeful…Rephrasing & reflecting on my own words & thoughts provided clarity & purpose, without feeling like I was being “analyzed” by someone else…She helped me to create more self awareness and empowered me to take action and after I did, I’d say to myself…why was that so hard to do before? Why didn’t I do that before?”
“When I started my coaching experience, I was in a state of limbo. Coaching was the catalyst for essential introspection. The questions that had before seemed overwhelming became manageable because I was facing them. It gives you a great deal of power and fulfillment in your life to be able to freely consider what you want and what is right for your future.”
