Support Groups
Adoption Bridges of Kentucky offers support groups for our adoptive parents. The groups meet once a month in several locations in Kentucky. There are two groups that meet in Louisville, one in Northern Kentucky near Florence, another group in Paducah, one group in the Bowling Green region, and another group in central Kentucky near Lexington.
Each group is facilitated by an experienced counselor. The groups provide education about adoption by following an agenda with pre-approved topics and distributing printed handouts. Participation in the groups helps adoptive parents meet the educational requirements for adoption.
Support groups also address the emotional issues surrounding adoption. They are an opportunity to provide and receive mutual support and encouragement. The groups are a good way for adoptive parents to meet other people who are going through similar experiences.
After Orientation and Training, adoptive parents will receive a list of the support groups and their facilitators and begin participating in the support groups.
