Children’s Service Society of Utah hosts four different free, monthly adoption-related support groups:

Adult Adoptee
Teens Adoptee
Birth Parents
Adoptive Parents (for families who have adopted, and those hoping to adopt)

What is a support group?

Support groups provide opportunities for people to share personal experiences and feelings related to adoption. Participating in a support group can provide an opportunity to be with people who are likely to understand the adoption experience.

Benefits of participating in a support group may include:

Feeling less lonely, isolated, or judged
Reducing distress, depression, or anxiety
Talking openly and honestly about your feelings
Learning skills to cope with challenges
Gaining a sense of empowerment, control, or hope
Improving understanding of your experience
Learning about other resources that may help
