Experience:
    Twenty years experience working with adoptees who are seeking information and possible reunion with biological parents. Also offering counseling with adoptive parents whose adoptee is seeking reunion with birth parents.
Insurance: Yes   Medicaid: No   Sliding Scale: Yes
Notes:
    It is a very common reaction to having been adopted for adoptees to be curious about their birth parents and possibly seek a reunion. Whether this experience is positive or negative and extremely painful is largely determined by how well the adoptee is counseled and prepared for the meeting. I hope that all adoptees seeking reunion will obtain counseling for guidance and support to help them have the best possible experience.
