Giving back can fit every family’s season, whether it's an hour, a weekend, or a month‑long effort.

Start small: a care‑kit drive, tutoring, a meal train, or lending your professional skills. Every act strengthens the adoption community.

This Giving Tuesday, Help Us Lift Up Adoptive Families

Family is built in many beautiful ways — through love, patience, and connection. At Parent Cooperative Connection (PCC), we have the honor of walking alongside incredible adoptive families who open their hearts and homes to children in need of love and belonging.

This , we invite you to join us in wrapping these families with the support they deserve. Your gift helps provide essential resources, community care, and programs that strengthen the bonds that make every family unique.

When you give, you’re not just donating — you’re helping write stories of hope, stability, and unconditional love.
Give today to show adoptive families they’re not alone. Together, we can make love go even further.

Honoring birth parents can be public or private; what matters most is the child's consent and respect.

Gratitude in adoptive families often carries additional layers of complexity that require thoughtful exploration and sensitive handling.

Unlike families formed through birth, adoptive families must navigate appreciation for their current blessings while acknowledging the losses and difficult circumstances that made adoption necessary. This complexity doesn't diminish gratitude but rather enriches it, creating opportunities for deeper understanding and more meaningful appreciation.

Gratitude journaling offers a powerful tool for exploring these complex emotions while building family traditions that strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. Through intentional reflection and creative expression, families can develop practices that honor their complete story while fostering appreciation for the unique path that created their family.

Open adoption represents one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern adoption practice, surrounded by myths and misconceptions that can prevent families from making informed decisions about their adoption journey. These persistent myths often stem from outdated information, cultural fears, or simple misunderstandings about how healthy open adoption relationships actually function.

By examining and dispelling these myths, prospective adoptive families can better understand the genuine benefits and realistic challenges of open adoption, making decisions based on facts rather than fears. Understanding the truth about open adoption empowers families to create relationships that serve everyone's best interests while fostering healthy development and strong family bonds.

Adoptive families face distinctive challenges that require specialized understanding and support. Unlike traditional family formation, adoption often involves complex attachment processes, trauma-informed parenting approaches, and ongoing identity exploration that can benefit significantly from community connection and shared wisdom.

Community events designed for adoptive families serve as powerful antidotes to this isolation, creating spaces where shared experiences become sources of strength, understanding, and lasting connection. These gatherings offer far more than social interaction; they provide essential opportunities for learning, healing, and building the support networks that help adoptive families thrive. Understanding how to leverage these community resources can transform the adoption experience from one of navigating challenges alone to embracing growth within a supportive collective.
