Adoption/Subsidized Guardianship Preservation Services

“Keeping the Promise” (KTP)

 

The Baby Fold is committed to assisting families throughout their life span. Adoption and subsidized guardianship are life-long processes. We are “keeping the promise” to families formed through adoption or subsidized guardianship and are helping families in “keeping the promise” to the children they agreed to parent forever.

Keeping the Promise is a program available to any family with a child under 18 years of age who is presenting a special challenge and joined the family through adoption or subsidized guardianship. Services are provided by professional therapists and a mental health advocate who understand the dynamics of families formed through adoption or subsidized guardianship.

Challenges some families face:

  • Family adjustments

  • Explaining birth history

  • Grief resolution

  • Learning disabilities

  • Peer problems

  • AD/HD

  • Chronic lying or stealing

  • Aggression

  • Eating or sleeping disturbances

  • Sexual acting out

  • Fire-setting

  • Behavior management

Services include:

  • 24-hour crisis counseling

  • In-home consultations and individual/family counseling

  • Support groups for parents, children, and teenagers

  • Resource library for families and professionals

  • Assistance in locating child care, medical, educational, and psychological services
