This pilot study tests a web-based mindful parenting program (AdoptMindful2Care@Web) for adoptive parents of children under 18. The program includes eight online modules to help parents cope with stress and improve their mental health. Researchers will compare 90 families who receive the program to those on a waitlist, measuring changes in parenting stress and positive mental health.
