Supporting Adult Adoptees as They Explore Their Heritage, History, and Identity
As adoptees grow into adulthood, many begin to seek a deeper understanding of their personal story. This may include learning more about their birth family, uncovering cultural or ethnic heritage, or gathering details about the circumstances of their adoption. Each journey is unique—and New Beginnings is here to offer guidance, support, and accurate information every step of the way.
Our Post-Adoption Services are designed to help adult adoptees navigate this exploration with clarity and compassion.
What We Provide
Heritage & Cultural Exploration
We help adoptees explore and understand their country of birth, cultural traditions, and ethnic background. For many, learning this information offers a meaningful connection to identity and personal history. Our staff can assist with:
- Connecting adoptees with cultural resources, activities, or travel guidance
- Understanding cultural heritage and background information
- Reviewing historical context or social conditions at the time of adoption
Birth Family Search Guidance
Some adoptees wish to learn more about their birth family or the circumstances surrounding their early life. While the availability of information varies by country and time period, New Beginnings provides:
- Counseling to help adoptees prepare emotionally for a search
- Guidance on what information may be accessible and how to request it
- Step-by-step support for initiating a search through the appropriate authorities
- Help interpreting records, documents, and correspondence
Support for Contact or Reunion
If contact or reunion becomes possible, we offer support to help adoptees navigate the process with care and stability. This may include:
- Coaching on communication and setting expectations
- Assistance with writing letters or handling initial outreach
- Emotional support before, during, or after contact
- Guidance on maintaining healthy boundaries
Travel & In-Country Assistance
For adoptees who wish to visit their country of birth or meet with officials abroad, our team can provide travel guidance and coordinate with our overseas partners when applicable.
