Adoption Mediation
Adoption mediation offers a sensitive, child-focused process where birth parents, adoptive families, and sometimes agencies come together to work out terms of an adoption. It may involve decisions about openness, visitation, updates, or post-placement communication. The mediator facilitates honest, respectful conversations to ensure everyone feels heard—especially regarding the child’s best interests. This process is especially helpful in contested adoptions or when there's emotional tension. Mediation helps reduce stress, speed up resolution, and create agreements that foster long-term trust and clarity.
