Description
After a family adopts from the foster care system, they do not have access to the same health care resources and supports available. This often leads to challenges with continuity of care, accessing services, and finding trauma-informed, adoption-competent providers. In this white paper, the Rees-Jones Center team explains some of these challenges and why expanding current programs is vital to ensuring adoptive families get the assistance needed.
