Coaching
During the long arc of parenting, it’s bound to happen. Adoption will become hard. We find ourselves gobsmacked by a situation we aren’t prepared for. It could be:
- between us and our child (young or grown)
- between our child and a birth parent (present or not)
- between us and a birth parent (present or not)
- within ourself, within our child (young or grown), or within a birthparent.
No wonder! These connections are complicated, murky, and emotionally charged. I can help. In person (Denver area) and Zoom option available.
NEW: Lori has completed the training to become Adoption-Competent Certified through the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.).
Testimonials
I’ve been working with Lori from early in my family’s adoption journey: through a match and a disruption, and more recently as my husband and I were chosen to parent a baby already born. Lori is not only kind and compassionate, but she is wise and insightful beyond words. She brings all of these wonderful traits (and so much more!) to every coaching session. I feel so grateful to have her with us as our open adoption journey unfolds!
As we navigate the early years of our open adoption, Lori is a wonderful coach. She has such practical wisdom to share; time and again she has helped us thoughtfully troubleshoot complex challenges. In our sessions, she keeps us grounded and adoptee-centered, boosts our morale and lifts our spirits.
We deeply value Lori’s expert perspective, and always leave our conversations feeling like we can go the distance on our adoption journey.
Lori has been walking alongside me for five years as I navigate a challenge in our open adoption. Her compassion, insight and commitment have carried me through….I couldn’t have stayed the course without her encouragement. She has walked the walk and now helps others do the same.
