New BeginningsĀ™ Beyond the Placement Program is dedicated to providing our adoptive families with ongoing support. Parents need information that will strengthen their family and enable them to Adoptive Parent Groups handle the challenges of adoptive parenting. We offer support groups for adoptive parents of children from birth to age 22 years, both international and domestic.

Talking with other parents, in a confidential therapeutic environment allows parents to exchange information, resources, provide each other with mutual support, and most importantly, to feel they are not alone in their parenting journey. Groups are for both international and domestic adoptive parents. The groups are run by Elizabeth Westermann, LMSW is a licensed social worker in NY State who specializes in adoption related issues including attachment and bonding, parenting special needs children, ADD/HD, and parenting transracial/transcultural children. Please contact her at 516-747-2204 or at [email protected] to join a group.
