We support adoptive families in Boulder County by connecting them with helpful resources and community programs. Our goal is to give families a safe place to ask for help, find support, and feel understood.

Post-Adoption Program
You can get help if:
-
You adopted a child through Boulder County Human Services.
-
You adopted a child somewhere else, but now live in Boulder County.
We provide support to meet the needs of adoptive families. Our services include:
- A family support specialist who can meet with you at home
- Help speaking up for your family’s needs (advocacy)
- Family fun events
- Help with certain costs
- A lending library with helpful books and materials
- Workshops and training for parents
- Scholarships to attend conferences
- Information about other community resources
- Parent discussion groups
- We offer monthly support groups for adoptive and kinship parents. These groups are a great way to meet others, talk through challenges, and build a strong support network.
