All Blessings International is happy to be able to offer assistance to family after the adoption is completed. Every adoption is not the same and each family faces their own set of challenges. ABI offers Adoption Crisis Counseling and Adoption Dissolution/Disruption Services to families who are currently facing challenges after their adoption process.

Post-Placement Reports:
ABI can write post-placement reports for families residing in MO or KY to submit to their child's birth country. We can write reports and recommendation for re-adoption or adoption validation in either state.

Post-Placement Counseling:
ABI offers short-term intensive crisis counseling and consulting for adoptive families facing challenges. With adequate preparation and full disclosure adoptions typically go smoothly; however there are times when adoptive placements enter a time of crisis and assistance by professionals familiar with adoption issues is essential. It takes a highly skilled therapist to sort through the many aspects involved in adoption counseling and to avoid triangulation. ABI will provide assistance in identifying appropriate resources including a long term therapist. ABI can also provide immediate crisis intervention assistance, not only with identifying resources, exploring respite possibilities and personal counseling, either on the phone or in person for local families.

Dissolution/Disruption Services:
Adoption dissolution is when adoptive parents decide to no longer parent an adopted child after the adoption has been finalized in a foreign or state court. Adoption disruption is when adoptive parents make the choice to no longer parent a child before the adoption has been finalized. ABI can assist with either situation. Occasionally, even with counseling and the best intentions, an adoptive placement cannot continue. Although rare, adoption dissolutions and disruptions are traumatic for everyone involved and bring out intense emotions. The highest priority in all situations is the best interests of all children involved. Our Mending Hearts program offers hope to children and families in crisis.
