Adoption Journeys<\/a> is a statewide Post Adoption support program of Child & Family Services. We are funded and supported by the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families. This is a network of services and supports for adoptive families, after an adoption has been finalized, or guardianship has been granted. Adoption Journeys services are provided to families who have adopted children or who have been designated permanent legal guardians by a court order. They have groups across Massachusetts including Florence, Worcester, Fall River, Tewksbury and Waltham.<\/p>\nContact: adoptionjourneys@cfservices.org<\/p>\n
