About Castle Rock International Adoptions Therapy
Our Journey and Mission
2007 marked the birth of Castle Rock International Adoptions Therapy (CRIAT), born out of a passion to provide unbiased, reliable, and comprehensive information on adoption therapy and related services. Founded by a team of dedicated professionals with diverse backgrounds in psychology, social work, and international adoption, CRIAT has evolved into a trusted online resource for families navigating the complexities of adoption and its accompanying therapeutic needs.
Over the years, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones: from our initial launch to hitting significant web traffic benchmarks, and establishing ourselves as a go-to source for adoption therapy guidance. Our journey has been fueled by a deep commitment to supporting adoptive families, fostering understanding, and promoting healthy development within adopted communities.
Our Purpose and Core Values
At CRIAT, we believe that every child deserves a loving, supportive, and nurturing environment, and every family should have access to the resources needed to thrive post-adoption. Our core values are:
- Unbiased Information: We strive for objectivity in our content, presenting both sides of every issue to empower readers with informed decisions.
- Accuracy: Rigorous fact-checking ensures that all information on our site is up-to-date and accurate.
- Reliability: Our sources are credible, and we back up our claims with evidence to maintain the highest standards of reliability.
- Empathy: We understand the unique challenges adoptive families face and aim to provide a supportive digital space.
Addressing an Information Gap
The internet is brimming with adoption-related content, but there was a notable gap in resources specifically tailored to therapy and support for adopted individuals and their families. CRIAT was created to fill this void by offering a comprehensive guide to various therapeutic practices, cultural considerations, and post-adoption adjustment strategies. We aim to bridge the knowledge gap and provide a one-stop resource center for adoptive parents seeking guidance.
Target Audience and Engagement
Our primary target audience includes:
- Adoptive parents seeking resources and support to navigate the emotional and practical aspects of adoption.
- Adopted individuals looking for information on self-discovery, identity formation, and therapeutic practices.
- Professionals in the field who require updated research and best practices related to adoption therapy.
We encourage reader engagement through comments, feedback, and sharing personal stories (while adhering to our community guidelines). Your input is invaluable as it shapes our content and ensures we remain relevant and responsive to your needs.
