Struggles AFTER Adoption is started out of my heart for all the parents that are struggling with their adopted child and finding the right help for their child and their family. I am a master's level therapist and licensed in the state of Michigan. I am also an adoptive mother of three who has battled numerous battles and had many doors slammed closed in order to find a little bit of help and hope for my adopted son.

Facing this alone is a horrible feeling. If forming this group gives one adoptive parent the feeling of hope and support they need to keep on going, then it is worth it. I know I personally have learned so much through this process and know the system is broken. Fixing the system may be a big task that we cannot over come right now, but we certainly can support each other through the battle. That's the purpose of this group -- to provide support to one another has we fight for what our children need.
