I have worked as a Private Adoption Practitioner for over 20 years, and I've been actively involved in co-facilitating adoptive parents' support groups for the last 5+ years.  It is my firm belief that all adoptive families could greatly benefit from peer mentoring, both at the beginning of their adoption journey as well as at various times along the way.  There are many experiences unique to adoptive parenting that are best understood and supported by another adoptive parent, which is why peer support is such a rich and powerful tool.
