The State of California committed resources to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 for youth and post adoptive families. This California Statewide Post Adoption Navigator site was developed as
a part of this Statewide project serving families across the State.

While the Post Permanency Project ended September 30, 2022, we hope this website serves a resource to connect you to your local post adoption service provider, and you enjoy the insight articles and on demand trainings coming.

This is where you find the support your family needs to thrive

Our post-adoption support groups are designed to get families like yours together to help strengthen your family bonds. Here are the current post-adoption support groups being offered.
