Dedicated Lifespan Follow-Up & Life Course Grief Framework

A Dedicated lifespan follow-up / contact / Life Course Grief and Reengagement Framework for engaging birth parents. Recognizing that adoption-related grief, identity, and relationship experiences unfold over a lifetime, this framework provides structured re-engagement pathways at milestone moments — anniversaries, birthdays, contact changes, developmental transitions, and life events — so that support remains available whether a birth parent last engaged one month or twenty years ago.

The framework combines proactive outreach, life-course-informed assessment, low-barrier reconnection pathways, and dedicated navigators who honor the participant's pace, privacy preferences, and current needs.
