About Three Yellow Roses - Adoption Support and Information

located in Maryland Heights

I hope this website can give some basic information to those entering adoption. Some of the information I write about may seem very simple and basic but you may not have thought of it before. I hope through my experience of adopting three times, attending an Adoption Support Group for two years, leading an Adoption Support Group for four years and being an Adoptive parent can help others along the confusing route of adoption. I am not a Social Worker or assoicated with any agency. I am just offering my personal experience which is what people seem to respond well to.
