Adoption Counseling
Our professional counselors provide comprehensive adoption education, explaining legal rights, Florida adoption laws, and emotional preparation. We offer 24/7 support during pregnancy, hospital stays, and post-placement. Services include creating hospital plans, facilitating communication agreements, and ensuring informed decision-making without pressure.
Post-Adoption Support
We provide ongoing grief counseling, educational assistance, and community resource referrals after adoption. Our team helps clients rebuild their lives through GED programs, resume workshops, and job placement support. This lifelong commitment ensures continued emotional and practical assistance whenever needed.
Financial Assistance
Eligible clients receive help with housing, food, transportation, and medical costs during pregnancy. We assist with Medicaid applications, WIC enrollment, and grocery expenses. This support extends up to six weeks post-placement to ensure stability during transitional periods.
