Birth Parent Counselling

Birth parent counseling is a professional service provided to individuals who are considering placing their child for adoption. This type of counseling is designed to support and guide birth parents as they navigate the emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of the decision-making process.

Key aspects of birth parent counseling include:

1. Emotional Support: Helping birth parents process their feelings, including grief, loss, guilt, or uncertainty.
2. Education: Providing information about adoption options, legal rights, and the different types of adoption (e.g., open, semi-open, or closed).
3. Decision-Making: Assisting birth parents in exploring whether adoption is the best choice for them and their child.
4. Post-Adoption Support: Offering resources and ongoing counseling to address the emotional aftermath of the adoption process.

The goal is to ensure that birth parents make informed decisions that align with their values and circumstances, while receiving compassionate and nonjudgmental support.
