The “Parenting+” program is designed for adoptive parents who want to deepen their understanding of adoption, strengthen their parenting skills, and gain practical tools for supporting their child’s emotional development and wellbeing.
The program is delivered through educational lectures, guided discussions, interactive exercises, group work, and experience-sharing sessions involving adoptive parents and adopted young adults.
The educational component of the program includes topics such as:
An informal support initiative that connects prospective adoptive parents and families in the early stages of adoption with experienced adoptive parents who are willing to share their knowledge, experience, and support.
The mentorship process helps normalize emotions, reduce feelings of isolation, and provide emotional encouragement throughout different stages of the adoption journey.
Mentors share personal experiences, challenges they encountered, ways they overcame difficulties, and practical guidance that can help families feel more informed, supported, and connected.
We believe that peer support and community connection play an important role in strengthening adoptive families and creating a sense of belonging.
The project is designed to provide adoptive families with quality support programs that help them navigate the emotional and practical challenges that adoption may bring.
Through connection, shared experience, education, and professional guidance, the program aims to strengthen parenting capacities, support healthy family relationships, and contribute to the emotional wellbeing and stability of adopted children and their families.
Many adoptive parents experience feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and lack of support while navigating different stages of adjustment and family development. Without adequate preparation and access to reliable information, families may struggle to understand the emotional and behavioral challenges connected to adoption.
Even when adoption is stable and successful, developmental transitions, past experiences, trauma, and changing family dynamics may create additional emotional and relational challenges for both children and parents.
Because of the unique experiences connected to adoption, post-adoption support plays an essential role in helping families build resilience, strengthen communication, develop realistic expectations, and better understand the needs of adopted children.
Support programs may include:
The goal of these programs is to help families feel more informed, supported, connected, and confident throughout the adoption journey.
We believe that community support, shared experience, and informed parenting can significantly contribute to the wellbeing, stability, and healthy development of adoptive families.
Programs are available to prospective adoptive parents and adoptive families regardless of their place of residence.
Our workshops are short, topic-based sessions designed for adoptive families and anyone who wants to better understand parenting and the challenges it may bring.
Through practical and everyday topics — from emotions, behavior, and tantrums to family relationships and child development — we create a space for learning, connection, and shared experience.
Each workshop lasts 90 minutes and is designed to provide practical knowledge, new perspectives, and reassurance that families do not have to navigate parenting challenges alone.
Workshop topics include:
Kristina Janjović Dževerdanović’s book VIKA was born from the need to speak openly, honestly, and without idealization about one deeply personal journey — the longing for a child, failed attempts, the decision to adopt, encounters with institutions, waiting, uncertainty, stigma, and ultimately, the creation of a family.
Written from the shared perspective of both partners, the book offers an intimate insight into the emotional realities of infertility, adoption, partnership, and the process of becoming a family through love, resilience, and connection.
This is not a story about perfect parenting or simple answers. It is a story about how families are built — through decisions, responsibility, patience, trust, and relationships that grow over time.
This is not a story about perfect parenting or simple answers. It is a story about how families are built — through decisions, responsibility, patience, trust, and relationships that grow over time. In VIKA, Kristina writes openly and without pathos about topics that are still too rarely discussed:
The value of this book lies not in offering solutions or advice, but in creating space for understanding, conversation, and support.
The book is intended for:
From the same need for understanding, support, and education, the Born from the Soul Foundation was created — with the goal of ensuring that no child or family feels alone in difficult and life-changing experiences.
VIKA is not only a personal story. It is also an important testimony about adoption in our society — about procedures, prejudice, waiting, hope, and the quiet truths that can deeply impact the lives of others.

Some prejudices don’t hurt adults. They hurt children.
Every time someone says that an adopted child “doesn’t belong to anyone,” asks, “Who are their real parents?”, or believes that family is defined by blood, genes, or the color of your eyes, they are not simply expressing an opinion.
They are building yet another barrier between a child and a family.
And every prejudice we break down opens another door for a child.
A family is not a biological fact.
A family is a choice.
The choice to be there.
To protect.
To love.
To stay.
That is why this campaign is about more than adoption.
It is about the kind of society we want to build.
A society where no child grows up behind the walls of an institution because adults were trapped by prejudice.
This is not just the cause of one foundation.
It is not the cause of one family.
It is not only the cause of adoptive parents.
It is a cause that rises above all our differences.
Because it is about children.
That is why today we are not asking you to adopt a child.
We are asking you to embrace adoptive families.
Because when we change the way we see adoption, we do more than change minds.
We change lives.
We are united by the belief that every child deserves love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging.
