YOU'VE ADOPTED... now what?
Over the past 20+ years I have personally adopted 4 times both domestically and internationally. By far the most difficult challenges we faced came AFTER the adoption when our role as a parent began. I’ve learned through some pretty hard lessons that no specific parenting formula or book or style works in every situation. In fact, the very opposite…each child is unique. Each family is unique.
The need for a personalized support AFTER the adoption process ends is apparent.
As the adoptive parents of kids aging from 8-18, we are still on a journey to “figure things out” but we have the amazing benefit of a highly qualified team of professionals surrounding us and supporting us with tools needed to not only survive but thrive! Join us on the continued journey of parenting greatness! Let’s do this together!
POST ADOPTION CONSULT
If you just took placement and need to speak to a Social Worker or CAC Consultant for advice, just let us know. Our team can share valuable information regarding finalization or advice on how to establish communication with your child’s birth parent(s).
FAMILY COACHING
We are excited to announce that Christian Adoption Consultants is partnering with Master Level Licensed Social Worker, Rebekah McGee, to provide post adoption training and individual family coaching sessions.
You can schedule a time to speak with Rebekah via Zoom or phone call, and she can address your specific concerns and provide personalized advice and guidance.
Rebekah is a Licensed Master Social Worker and holds a bachelor and master’s degree in Social Work. She is also a graduate of the Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) program, a 72-hour assessment-based certificate program accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. She has worked with birth parents and adoptive families for many years in multiple states. She lives in Tuscaloosa, AL with her husband and three children where they serve in ministry. Their oldest child was adopted through international adoption in 2012; they are parenting a child with multiple special-needs, including Cerebral Palsy and Autism. Rebekah is passionate about praying for and supporting families throughout their adoption journey so they are equipped to understand adoption identity, transracial adoption and attachment for the years ahead.
