‘Not only life-changing, but lifesaving’

CCFH’s Post Adoption Services are ‘not only life-changing, but lifesaving’

We are kicking off a special fundraising campaign this year to restore our post adoption services for the high-risk families who so desperately need this specialized support. Adoption disruption is a basic threat to survival on a family level, so we are looking to our individual donors and foundation supporters to fund these services lost in a state funding shift.

One parent and donor is so committed to keeping these valued services intact for families like hers that she made a special appeal.

 

“Our AMAZING therapists, Kate and Felicia, are helping us connect in ways we’ve never been able to in almost 7 years together. We’re having meaningful conversations that are far beyond the capabilities of most 12 year olds. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I’m asking you to make a donation to CCFH. Every dollar makes a difference, and if you’re able to make a big difference, I’ll be forever grateful.”

— Anne Ehlers, donor and parent

 

For more than a decade our program offered an array of services to about 150 post adoptive families annually. This included assessments, clinical care, support groups, and workshops focused on a variety of topics from transracial adoption to healing from childhood trauma. We are hopeful about the opportunity to retain our talented specialists and restore many of these supports with grants and donations.

If you are interested in supporting this program you can find more information about how to make a gift on our Support Our Mission page. We are happy to discuss any in-kind, fund drive, or other contribution ideas.

Thank you for your continued care and interest in this work.
