From its very beginning, Dillon has emphasized the importance of supporting adoptive families, even after their adoption is finalized.  The adoption process is not always “smooth sailing”, but more serious issues may arise after the child comes home, whether for the parents, the adoptee, or siblings.

Dillon offers counseling for all adoption-related areas, such as

  • attachment and bonding,

  • identity, or

  • behavior issues.

Adoption-related counseling can include issues of grief and loss related to birth family, identity formation issues, difficulty trusting others or feeling connected to others, or fear of losing other people in one’s life.  When issues related to one’s adoption are not addressed, there can be difficulty in relationships with others, misplaced anger, and lack of self awareness.  Not all struggles in life for the adoption triad are related to adoption, but it is important to explore this part of one’s experience to help reach healthy resolution.

Counseling services are available for anyone affected by adoption, regardless of the placing agency.

Counseling sessions are facilitated by Rebecca Leaming Hackworth, LCSW, Dillon’s Director of Social Services. The hourly fee is based on a sliding scale. Evening appointments are available. For those not in the Tulsa area, arrangements may be made for phone or web-conference sessions.

Please call Rebecca at (918) 583-4450 to make an appointment.
