Adult Adoptees, Birth Parents & DNA Discoveries
As an organization founded by an adoptee, Adoption Network Cleveland: The Ohio Family Connection has always been committed to providing services for adoptees and their families.
Our programs for Adult Adoptees, Birthparents, and those with DNA discoveries provide information, support, education, and advocacy. Adoptive families of adult adoptees are welcome too. The goal of all of these activities is to help those we serve to find an understanding community to provide healing.
Adoption Network Cleveland provides resources, from our organization and the community, which can be helpful for adult adoptees, birth parents and families, and those with DNA discoveries as well as offering guidance, support, and specific services. These services include:
-
A safe space for members of the adoption constellation and those with DNA discoveries to share perspectives and receive support
-
A safe space for individuals who have experienced a DNA discovery to share perspectives and receive support
-
Service to help individuals recognize and overcome obstacles to meeting their life goals
