Birthparent Support in Ohio
Posted on September 06, 2017 by Meredith Blumenthal
You don't have to feel alone after making an adoption plan. Adoption Circle encourages birth mothers and fathers to share their adoption stories and become part of a community that can help by attending a birthparent support group. Birthparent support meetings and general adoption support meetings are held in the Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, and Cincinnati areas. Read the article to learn about the benefits of attending a support group, and visit Adoption Network's website to learn more about adoption support groups in your area.
