Feeling Overwhelmed?

 

Adoptive Parents

Are you starting the process of adoption – domestic, international or foster care – and are looking for someone to connect with? 

Do you have a list of questions a mile long and don’t have a good resource? 

Contact AFCR today and we will put you in touch with a member or community resource that can help you through your journey.

 

Adult Adoptees  & Birth Families

Are you an adult adoptee or a birth mother or member of a birth family and need support? 

Are you interested in connecting with other people that understand you?

Contact AFCR today and we will help put you in touch with a member or a certified social worker that may be able to support you, help answer questions or just someone with whom to talk with and connect.
