Lifetime Healing Foundation

About: Founded by birth mother and “Big Tough Girl”, Ashley Mitchell, this is a post placement care network dedicated to not only educating adoption professionals on the importance of lifetime resources and support for women that make the decision to place their child(ren) for adoption, but also to provide concrete tools to help them be successful when providing these services. Through an established and tested national training, we hope to bring a vital and missing piece of ethical adoption to the forefront and create a new standard in post placement care. This program is put on and supported by the LifeTime Healing Foundation.

Offers Support Groups held in: AL, AR, CA, CO, FL, GA, LA, OH, SC, UT, TX, VA
