Adoption Support ServicesOur goal is to help create a community of adoptive families bringing hope and the tools necessary to provide safe, sensitive and lasting homes for children and teens
Our adoption services are designed to enhance, support and build a deep and lasting sense of attachment within the adoptive family.
Our Adoption Support Services Program began in 1998 with the goal of creating a community of adoptive families bringing hope and the tools necessary to provide safe, sensitive and lasting homes for children and teens who have come to the adoption journey.
We welcome all families from every region of San Diego County who are in the process of adopting or who have already adopted infants, children and teens. Our services include support groups, movie nights, attachment and adoption focused therapy, parent coaching, family advocacy, and much more! Our hope is that families will join us and find an encouraging and resourceful home in the community of adoptive families.
Last year, our adoption support services helped 643 youth and families.
