We know that what you are going through can be very difficult and that what you may need most of all is someone to talk to. Adoption support groups for birth mothers or birth fathers who are thinking of placing (or recently placed) a child for adoption are very limited and those that do exist are often hard to find. We have done our best to help you by providing the information and resources below. Each adoption related support group and website we have listed offers something a little different but all of them try to offer support, encouragement, and adoption related information. You can search these adoption resources by state using the chart below and then, hopefully, find adoption information and an adoption support group that meets your needs.
