Birth Search
Dillon currently has a search process in place for the countries of South Korea. We offer counseling for anyone who is pursuing a search for birth family in our Tulsa office regardless of country.
Counseling
Counseling is offered to individuals, families and couples. To set up an initial free 15-minute telephone consultation with one of our adoption professionals, please call (918) 749-4600.
Support Groups
Finding support with others that understand is important at any age. Not feeling alone, being with others that can relate, and getting education from adoption professionals is all a focus in our support groups.
Camp/Tours
Finding pride in your child's birth culture is both important for your family and your child. Our heritage programs are available to support your family into creating connections with your child's birth culture.
Guatemala Heritage Tour
At Dillon, we absolutely encourage every adoptive family to take their children back to their land of birth at least once.
When families adopt internationally, they are becoming an international family, so a birthland tour should be a family affair and a very natural and normal event.
As your children grow, they will encounter social expectations that they have visited their birth country and know some of its language, and your child will experience great pride and satisfaction from those accomplishments.
