Adoption-Specific Psychotherapy

"Facilitating kids and parents talking about important things."

"Average age at adoption is six years old."

"Adoption-specific psychotherapy developed for 7 to 12 year olds. Manual developed by bringing together the experts, looking at the literature and asking, what are the issues to help families? and finally getting feedback at a conference."

"I get her vs. where did that come from?"

"Claiming the child."

"Adoptive families with higher SES (socioeconomic status) tend to have poor outcomes."

--Dr. Jeanne Miranda
