Adoption is a journey of beautiful new beginnings, but it also presents unique challenges as children weave their stories together. At Strong Family Roots, we understand that children experience the world differently after adoption. If you are noticing emotional or behavioral hurdles, difficulty with transitions, or if you simply need guidance on navigating age-appropriate adoption conversations, you don’t have to walk this path alone.

Our Approach: The Language of Play & The Power of Parents

Children naturally express their inner worlds through play. We use child-centered play therapy to create a safe space where your child can process feelings and learn coping skills in their own “natural language.”

However, we believe you are the expert on your child. In our practice, parent involvement is not optional—it is essential. Our model balances individual child sessions with dedicated parent strategy sessions. Together, we will explore family dynamics, identify your child’s unique strengths, and implement actionable steps to bring more peace to your home.

Our Specialized 5-Session “Begging Phase”

To ensure meaningful progress, we meet weekly or bi-weekly. This consistency allows us to build momentum and create lasting change.

The Adoption & Permanency Roadmap:

• Discovery: We begin with a dedicated parent-only session to map your family’s history and current needs.

• Rapport: I meet individually with your child to build trust and understand their world.

• Education: We dive into “Adoption Consciousness” and the 7 Core Areas of Adoption together.

• The Story: We work with your child to begin creating their unique Life Timeline.

• Integration: We conclude the launch phase by aligning on your family’s strengths and long-term permanency goals.
