Adoption Coaching – Getting Help with Adoption Issues & Loss
Adoption and working with all parts of the adoption community was my focus for a very long time. I don’t do too much adoption coaching nowadays because I don’t have time, but in certain circumstances, will still take on a case. I still sometimes work with adult adoptees and birth parents and don’t do any pre-adoption preparation or pre-adoption coaching work any longer. If you are interested in life reinvention coaching for mid-life or older women, or grief and loss help, you might still wish to peruse both sets of testimonials just to get a sense of who I am and what former clients feel about me and my work.
Some of you may be confused when you see adoption coaching here on this site, since I am a Life and Loss Transformation/Life Reinvention Coach. If you think about it, though, it fits right in with my larger niche area as a loss or bereavement specialist and facilitator of life redesign! Loss and grief are common themes for the adoption community too.
Adoption is about many things. It is about sadness and endings. It is also about joy and new beginnings. Sometimes those things all live in adopted people, birth parents and adoptive parents at the same time. Many people don’t really understand that and it has only been recognized by the professional adoption community in the last decade or two. Many still don’t acknowledge the complexities of adoption and of living life as a member of the Adoption Triad.
When it comes to adoption coaching, you want the go-to-expert on all things adoption including adoption issues, such as adoption loss. Expert adoption coaching is part of my business, Vision Powered Coaching. My coaching work focuses on helping people who live with loss and grief, and tough life changes, or who just envision living a happier, more successful life. I get great satisfaction helping those in the Adoption Triad who been affected by loss and grief, though they may not always realize that is what they are experiencing, or what may be holding them back in some ways.
Nowadays I don’t place kids for adoption. I did that for 30 years as a professional and many years before that as an adoption and child advocate, adoptive parent and mother of a multicultural family.
I doubt there is an adoption-related problem or something about the process that I haven’t either been through myself, or that I haven’t helped countless clients with over the many decades I have been a part of the adoption community.

I’m Sure I Can Help If You’re A:
- Birth Parent

Are you a birth parent who placed a child, and you’re stunned at how much you still hurt? Do you need help finding your new normal, and envisioning a future that is meaningful to you?
You could be an adult adoptee with a lot of sadness, or questions that never seem to be answered. You often feel that having some answers would enable you to be happier and to move on.
Are you an adoptive parent with concerns about what things that are happening are, or are not, related to adoption issues?
Are you the parent of a teen or adult adoptee who has floundered, doesn’t seem to be able to focus, or to settle into productive life choices, choose an educational goal, find or keep a decent job? This could have something to do with adoption loss/abandonment issues.
What is the cost to you, or to your family if the turmoil you live with now were to stay forever?
What if you don’t finally learn to love who you are, and to be fully accepting of yourself and where you came from?
What if…
What if your questions or concerns as an Adoptee, or as a Birth Parent were never answered or resolved?
What if you were to undertake a search and it were to turn out horribly?
What if you had to continue to live with huge questions, or with pain and confusion?
How would it feel to have more answers and more tools to be able to live a happier and more grounded life?
