Nurture does not facilitate adoptions. However, we have compiled a list of adoption resources below.
Your first stop for advice, support and a list of adoption resources, visit Trinity Heart Adoption and Resource Portal. www.trinityheart.co.za
Founded a fabulous mom who adopted a gorgeous little girl, Trinity Heart is a comprehensive adoption resource and support centre tailored specifically for the South African adoption option. Find a social worker or adoption agency, get help creating your adoption profile or chat with a forum of your peers walking the journey with you.
Your next stop should be Terri at Adoptmom
Terri Lailvaux is an adoptive mom of a 6 year old boy called Alex. She is also the author of a children’s story book about adoption called The Greatest Gift.
Terri’s passion is connecting people to each other. She has an extensive database of adoption agencies, social workers, clinical psychologists, support groups and adoptive parents and with all these connections can assist people with almost any questions.
Terri’s passion is driven by her knowledge that adoption can be a very lonely and terrifying experience. Her aim is to open herself and her connections up and reach out to those people out there who feel alone and don’t know where to turn.
For more information, please visit Terri’s website http://adoptmom.co.za/
