Angel Donors Welcome!
Help Shape the Future of Adoption and Complex Families
Donate Now
Dear Friend and Ally,
I am reaching out from both my heart and my life’s work.
For more than fifty years, I have walked beside children, adults, and families navigating the complex and often painful world of adoption, foster care, kinship, donor conception, and surrogacy. These are the families that live in the spaces between love and loss—and it has been my privilege to serve and learn from them.
Now, at 79 years old, I find myself at a new crossroads: with decades of knowledge, clinical models, and stories that could help so many more—if only I can ensure they are passed forward.
I am asking for your help to make that possible.
With your support, I can continue consulting, teaching, supervising, writing, and recording new materials—so that the lessons, methods, and insights I’ve developed over a lifetime will not be lost. Your donation will help me train the next generation of clinicians and advocates, while bringing hope and healing to countless families.
Every contribution, large or small, will make a tangible difference. It will keep this work alive—and keep me working as long as I am able.
Your donation will be tax-deductible, made through the National Association of Adoptees and Parents (NAAP), a trusted nonprofit 501(c)(3) that supports my work.
Please note: “For Pavao Consulting” on your donation.
