Welcome to the home page for
Adoptive Family Resources! We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated
to families raising children with high psychological need in the metro Denver
area.
Introduction Adoptive Family Resources was founded by concerned parents and professionals. Through our experience we became aware of the need for support and counsel for families who raise children that have experienced significant abuse and neglect. Many of these children are in adoptive homes. Often when an adoption is finalized, there are few services available to help with the continuing needs that adoptive families may have. We are also concerned about the stress that the children's psychological issues may bring to even the most resourceful and caring family. We offer support groups, retreats, social events, advocacy and education that address the needs of adoptive families. Please see our �Current Events� section for a list of what is available at this time. Professionals and families who attend are familiar and sympathetic to our unique family situations! Some of the most valuable support and information that our families receive come from other families who live with the same challenges. All of our events are moderately priced, and many have scholarships available. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail at jan@adoptivefamilyresources.org or by phone at 303.881.7630.
Below is a link that Adoptive Family Resources supported for the Colorado State Court. This project was inspired by the "Kid's and Judge's Day." April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Rocky Mountain News has supported the promotion of this handbook. The handbook includes illustrations and small paragraphs so children can understand, in simple terms, the process of a Dependency and Neglect Case. This was funded by the Court Improvement Project, which is funded by a federal grant and is aimed at improving how state courts handle cases involving children in process of a legal hearing for Dependency and Neglect.
