Adoption is a decision to create a family with people who are not biologically related.
In therapy, children, adolescents and adults who were adopted frequently have questions that they want answered, such as:
- Why didn't my birth mother and birth father keep me?
- Did I do something wrong that made them want to give me up for adoption?
- Can my adoptive parents give me up for adoption?
- Will my parents be hurt if I search for my birth parents?
- Do I have siblings? Are they living with my birth family?
- How did my birth parents choose who to keep and who will be adopted?
In therapy, Dr. Frank helps people feel safe enough to ask their questions. Through creative arts projects, family sessions and talking, people who are adopted learn about themselves and work towards accepting and embracing their unique life experiences.
