Adoption2Action

Adoption2Action A2A is an agency focused on providing both pre & post-adoptive support services to families who wish to or have adopted from Florida's foster care system.

Adoption2Action (A2A) was established in 2015 by adoptive mothers, Morgan Gish & Melissa Merritt. Their children; now ages 6, 10 & 11, were placed in their homes with a myriad of special needs, each of them having been in numerous placements after removal from their birth families. Over time, and with much trial and error, these women (both social workers by trade and familiar with the inner worki

ngs of the child welfare system) were able to navigate the vast waters that are the needs of the post-adoptive child. Everything from education to socialization, therapy to attachment training was uncovered and explored. Then, and only then, did it became clear that a better post-adoptive support system was desperately needed. So...A2A was born. This agency’s sole focus is to support and guide parents who take on the most challenging of tasks...raising the adopted special needs child. Through advocacy & crisis intervention, it is our hope that no adoption will ever fail….and no child will go without the services he/she so desperately needs & deserves. It is with knowledge, guidance, education, and insight that this agency is able to provide the services so critical to ensuring each and every adoption’s success. Services include resource navigation, referrals, support, advocacy, & crisis intervention. We believe that EVERY CHILD deserves the right to a forever family, and that every forever family deserves the right to feel supported and understood.

Good morning and Happy Saturday!

Melissa and Brandon (the founder and her husband) are hoping that all of our Florida adoptive families are safe and well during this time.

While it has been awhile since we have shared anything (most of you know we moved to Maryland late last year) - we decided to take care of ourselves and our children during this time of change and transition for our family. We want to thank everyone for their love, support, and understanding while we adjusted and made this move. Melissa is now a teacher at a school in Annapolis, and Brandon is working for a Government Contractor.

We are doing well - and we miss our Florida friends and family every day! Camron and Rylan (our reason for starting the agency) are excelling at school, have made friends, and are enjoying the weather and change in scenery.

We are hoping to begin up with our post adoptive support groups over the summer - depending on the current state of affairs in our country. Please tune into our page for more information, as our website is being updated as well.

Thanks,
Brandon and Melissa

Good morning,
As most of you know our CEO/President Melissa has accepted a job in Alexandria, Virginia and starts in late August.

Due to the A2A yard sale this coming weekend (we had to reschedule due to weather), and other scheduling conflicts, both the July and August post adoptive support group meetings are being cancelled. The Merritt family has to be up in the Virginia area in August to check out some houses with their real estate agent, and between the move and getting the kids situated (they need to be enrolled in school, and set up in after care, etc.) - having the August meeting will be too difficult with the move.

Please plan on both the July and August meetings being cancelled, but the September meeting is still on and the Merritt family will be back for it.

Please call the office phone at (352) 569-4971 if you have any questions.....

-Melissa

For children who have experienced trauma, learning can be a big struggle. But once trauma is identified, we can adapt our approach to help kids cope.
