Hi, I’m Lesli

I created Ask Adoption to provide a community for individuals and families created by foster care and adoption and for others who are curious about the adoptive experience. It’s a place I needed growing up, and resource my parents would have surely benefited from. Ask Adoption is a safe space to connect, learn and find answers to your questions. It’s a place to find comfort and validation. Ultimately it’s a place for you to heal.  I’m committed to raising awareness, elevating the voice of the adoptee and providing support and guidance, to adoptive parents, birth parents and families worldwide.  

Adoptees

Are you wondering how adoption has shaped you?

Adoptive Parents

Are you a parent who is struggling to connect with your adopted child or teen but feel like you’re failing?

Birth Parents

Are you grieving a child you lost to adoption years ago and feel invisible, like no one understands you?

Professionals

Have you worked with other therapists and coaches who don’t seem to completely understand the grief and loss associated with adoption?
