We had a great evening on Monday at Gold Hill Baptist Church speaking about becoming a parent through adoption and PACT! Alison, a PACT parent, spoke about her own experience of adopting through PACT. 💙 Last year, 30% of parents who adopted through PACT were families of faith.

Adoptees should not only aim to find their biofamily and roots, agree or desagree for adoption procedures and rights, but also try to comfort younger adoptees and families, help families before and after adoption understand the trauma their children faced and still have to face till they are healed. Tell people why adoption is a trauma and especially when babies and young children have to stay in residential care away from family environment. Then its worth for adoptees to tell about their stories and not make falce impression about them. We all adoptees are obliged to make clear to the community that adoption has many difficult stages and not pretent that adoption stories have a happy ending. End of the myth, it needs a lot of effort and knowledge to make things work. We all are not victims but survivors. Dear Adoptees support our organization to help families and children.

💡 A common misconception parents may have when choosing Adoption is the possibility of a Birth Mother reclaiming or taking back, their child. 🔹 This is a valid concern, and while it may be worrisome for hopeful Adoptive Families, it is important to recognize that this cannot happen once an Adoption is finalized and the Birth Mother's revocation period has ended. 🔹 Additionally, Adoption is a permanent legal agreement, and it is at the discretion of the Adoptive Parents to decide whether or not they would like to have an open, semi-open, or closed arrangement. 🔹 For more information regarding Adoption, including the Adoption services offered at Loftus-Vergari & Associates, please contact our office today. 💭 #LoftusVergariAndAssociates #LVA #Adoption #Myths #Misconceptions #Information #NEPA

When we think of adoption, often the image of welcoming a child into a family comes to mind. However, adoptions don’t only happen in childhood. It is also possible for legal adult adoptions to take place. Adult adoption may seem unusual compared to more traditional adoptions, but it can be meaningful in several situations. ●Laws and requirements vary greatly depending on the state. #linkedindaily #linkedinforcreators #familylaw

**The Harsh Truth: Single Motherhood Shouldn’t Be the Norm** It’s unacceptable that single motherhood has become a reality for many, when it was never meant to be the norm. The expectation for individuals to raise children alone is a failure of our support systems and society at large. We need to confront this issue head-on and advocate for a world where single parents are not left to manage the impossible alone. It’s time for change and real support for all families. #EndSingleMotherhoodStigma #SupportAllParents #SocialChange #4SereneInternational #RedefineParenthood #NoOneShouldBeAlone #4SereneFamily #SupportSingleParents #BreakTheNorm #FamilySupportNow #4SereneImpact #StandWithSingleMothers #4SereneHealth #EndSingleMotherhoodStruggles #TogetherForFamilies #4SereneCEO #ReimagineFamilySupport #AlanSaju

Open adoption can be complicated. Watch the discussion as Kim (a birth mom,) Sharon (an adoptee,) and Sally (an adoptive parent shat with Brian De Vos ( an adoptive dad.) Hear how this dad and his family learned how to make it work over the years. Their child-centric approach took intention, commitment, good communication, and the acceptance of the mutual humanity of all involved! Sally Ankerfelt Sharon Obazee Susan David Kim Noeth Gayle H.
