Uphold

A post adoption group which seeks to connect birth mothers so they can support and encourage each other's growth through their adoption experience.

Birth mothers who have commented on their UPHOLD experience say...

  • "It gave me a chance to share my story and listen to others."
  • "I felt very comfortable...that I was able to share what I was feeling. I also felt that the other members of the group were very supportive."
  • "I really enjoy coming to UPHOLD! Every session I attend teaches me more about myself."
  • "Everyone was really open."
  • "Knowing that I wasn't the only one going through this kind of pain really helped me deal with the pain. And being able to talk about it was even more helpful."

Registration:
Registration is required for attendance. There is a registration fee for the group. This is to partially cover the cost of sponsoring the group. If the registration fee is your only hindrance to attending the group, scholarships are available.

Other Details/Expectations:
This is a closed 8 week group. This means that no one will be admitted after the first week and each member is expected to attend all sessions. We have seen this to provide an atmosphere for the most growth.

Groups are typically held twice a year. If you would like to receive information about this group, call Kiley at our Richfield office (612-866-7643 x167).

"Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you: I will help you; I will UPHOLD you with My victorious right hand."
