jillian Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Did you do any counseling before you began the process? How did you find a good therapist (we have mental health service coverage with our insurance)? Anything you asked beforehand to know if they could help?

NotSoObvious Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The classes through foster care were amazing and better than any counseling we could have gotten. If you aren't adopting through foster care, I'd actually recommend you try to take the classes, or at least do a lot of reading on attachment. Your child should have therapy when they come to you, but you can fight to change therapists to make sure it's a good one. Then, find someone who specializes in attachment that you can all see together. Also, if you are still suffering from any infertility grief, seeing a therapist who specializes in that could help.

jillian Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I meant more for the resolution of our infertility than the adoption process. I want to process and work through some of the feelings I've got towards myself and if I'm honest everyone else regarding the infertility issues we have.

NotSoObvious Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ahhh, yes. Our fertility clinic had a list of providers who specialized in infertility. Do you have access to something like that? It might even be on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillian Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I could call my infertility clinic but we terminated treatment awhile back (January, just after the new year). I also need to ensure Tricare coverage at the counseling office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Our local adoption agency offers infertility counseling. You might check to see if any local agencies offer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
