| | After Adoption: The Need for Services (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | Adopted children who were adopted when they were older, who were adopted after they experienced abuse or neglect, or who were adopted from another country may have other feelings and behaviors that sometimes become difficult for families to manage on their own. |
 | | Groups for younger children usually involve play activities that are both fun and geared to encourage understanding and discussion of adoption. |
 | | A third strategy is to contact the Clearinghouse for the names of therapists who are willing to give brief telephone consultation to your child's therapist to help him or her get on the right track in therapy. |
