WARM Shoulders (Individual Support)

WARM offers individual support by telephone for those who just need to talk with someone who has “walked in your adoption shoes.” We will attempt to match you with a WARM Shoulder volunteer in your geographical area. Call WARM at 206.767.9510 for more information.
