Free Adoption Resources

At LFCS, we know that adoption is a lifelong journey — one that can bring joy, complexity, and moments that require extra support. Whether you’re an adoptive parent, an adoptee, a birth parent, or a professional who serves adoptive families, we want to provide resources that help you navigate the real-life experiences that come with adoption.

Below, you’ll find a collection of free downloadable resources offering guidance, perspective, and practical tools on a variety of topics — from sharing sensitive news with members of the adoption triad, to supporting adoptees in school, to addressing unique family dynamics.

These factsheets are meant to be used as conversation starters, support tools, and learning aids. We hope you find them helpful and reassuring as you walk this important journey.
