T.H.R.I.V.E.

A support group for adult adoptees

For adoptees who find themselves soul-searching for answers…

Adopted as an infant, psychotherapist Janice Shayne intimately understands the trauma and deep questions held by those within the adoption family constellation. In 2024, she created T.H.R.I.V.E. (Trust, Heal, Restore, Integrate, Validate, Emerge), a 12-month adoption support program where adult adoptees can safely connect and share their experiences through structured discussions.

Over the course of 24 guided sessions, T.H.R.I.V.E. explores the challenges and traumas of adoption and how they commonly manifest in the context of:

• Loss
• Rejection
• Guilt/Shame
• Grief
• Identity
• Intimacy
• Mastery/Control

What to Expect From T.H.R.I.V.E.

As a T.H.R.I.V.E. participant, you can expect the following:

• Connection — Meet other adoptees with whom you’ll navigate your healing journey.
• Self-Exploration — Find answers and healing within yourself.
• Reclamation — Develop a sense of ownership over your origin story. 
• Harmony — Discover internal resources to help you navigate the external world.
• Release — Let go of heavy burdens that no longer serve you.
• Resilience — Learn new emotional skills for understanding and coping with triggers.
