Life at The Office - A Birth-Family Reunion

Society & Culture

Jan 18

A few months ago, I accepted a new position at Amara, a foster-care agency in Seattle. I'm having a blast building a new Post-Adoption Program, that will be designed to support all members of the adoption constellation. Just three months in to my new position I received a phone call:

“Hi, my name is Mariya. I think my biological sisters were placed for adoption through your agency about a decade ago. I’d like to know what I need to do in order locate them, and possibly meet them? And, by the way, my mom – their mom – doesn’t know that I’m making this call.”
