Acting As a Communication Bridge in the "adoption Triad"

105 20
€Is adoption the right choice for me?€ €In what ways will a new child affect my life and family?€ €Is my child going to be in good hands?€ €I just found out I'm adopted, what now?€ These are questions that come from each corner of The Adoption Triad. The €Adoption Triad€ as it is commonly referred to, consists of the Birth Mother/Birth Family, The Adoptee, and The Adoptive Family. These three roles, and communication between them, is key in paving the path ahead.
Tough questions?
Ask an Adoption Counselor
For adoptive parents, making the decision to adopt and embarking on the journey towards adding to your family through adoption can be an emotional time. Many seek answers from friends or the internet, and some find what it is they are seeking, but others come up short and may even feel trapped. Most do not seek out counseling due to social stigma, or simply not knowing what the job of a counselor is. Some may even avoid speaking to a counselor from the basis that they don't like talking to €strangers' especially over a topic as sensitive and personal as adoption. Whatever the reason, a Professional Adoption Counselor may be the next route.
Adoption Counseling: Services Offered
The typical Adoption Counselor offers a wide range of services leading up to the adoption and is available to all parties even years after the adoption. A variety of services is offered to every corner of the adoption triad. Some of these services I've seen offered are targeted to the receiving family as a whole such as:
€ Phone Calls answered and returned
€ Face to Face meetings and mediated introductions
€ Home Studies
€ Step-by-step guidance through ALL paperwork
€ Adoption Counseling
€ Family planning Counseling
€ Personal support during and after the adoption process
€ Core Education
€ Optional Love and Logic Training
Services are not limited to families. I've seen services for Birth Parents including:
€ Face to Face meetings with your own case aide
€ Step-by-step personal guide through the process
€ Support in picking a family for your baby
€ Personal Professional guidance while making an adoption plan
€ Counseling
€ Birth Mom support group meetings
€ Life coaching
€ Full support during the adoption process and long after completion of adoption
Adoption Counseling for the Adopted
For adoptees, both adolescents and adults, adoption counseling can help you identify and address specific issues that may come up over the course of your life time that may come from certain times of adoption related emotions.
Speaking to someone well versed in adoption related issues can definitely help in alleviating any immediate and possible future emotional conflicts.
