The adoption journey doesn't end when the child comes home. Raising an adopted
child presents unique challenges that can continue into adulthood. The Sacred Portion Children's Outreach provides post-adoption
services to provide the support and encouragement that adoptive families need as they walk this road.
Parent Support Groups
Parent support
groups address the needs of parents at different stages of their adoption journey. These groups typically meet on a monthly
basis with an agenda that ranges from informal discussion to focusing on specific topics that have relevance to parenting
adopted children.
Workshops and Courses
Periodically, we are able to offer one-day workshops or a course series that gives parents
the perspective and skills that they need to successfully parent their adopted child.
Adoptive Family Get-Togethers
On a quarterly
basis, we organize a get-together of adoptive and prospective adoptive families. These gatherings give parents and kids and
opportunity to connect, renew relationships and support one another through their common experiences. Get-togethers may include
potlucks, picnics, sledding parties, etc.

inside out and to cultivate and preserve powerful parent-child connections.
