Pre-Adoption and Post-Adoption Therapy
At Hopeology Wellness, we know that adoption is a journey filled with hope, love, and complexity. Whether you are preparing to adopt or adjusting to life after adoption, specialized counseling can provide valuable guidance and support. Our pre-adoption and post-adoption counseling services are designed to help parents, children, and families navigate the unique emotional, relational, and developmental challenges of adoption with compassion and care.
Supporting Families Through Every Stage of Adoption
Why Pre-Adoption Counseling Matters?
Adoption brings many questions and emotions. Pre-adoption counseling at Hopeology Wellness offers prospective parents a supportive space to prepare for the journey ahead. Therapy can help you:
Explore motivations and expectations around adoption
Prepare for the emotional, relational, and practical changes adoption brings
Learn about attachment and bonding issues that may arise
Address concerns about open vs. closed adoption
Build confidence and resilience as you move through the adoption process
This proactive support helps create a strong foundation for your family’s future.
After adoption, families often experience both joy and adjustment. Post-adoption counseling helps parents and children navigate transitions and build healthy attachments. Therapy can provide support for:
Strengthening parent-child bonding and attachment
Helping children process feelings of loss, grief, or identity questions
Addressing behavioral or emotional challenges that may emerge
Supporting adoptive parents through stress, uncertainty, or burnout
Enhancing communication and family connection
Every adoption story is unique, and counseling ensures families feel supported as they grow together.
The Importance of Post-Adoption Counseling
Client Testimonial
“The adjustments we faced after we came back to the US were incredibly hard. Our adoptive kids didn’t know English and we really struggled to connect with them. There was so much fighting and anger. Post-adoptive counseling was really helpful for our family.” - Adoptive Parent
Our Approach to Adoption Therapy
At Hopeology Wellness, we use trauma-informed and attachment-focused approaches to support adoptive families. Our therapists provide a safe, compassionate environment where parents and children can openly share experiences, strengthen relationships, and develop tools for long-term wellbeing.
