Married couples who adopt older children from foster care, especially children with special needs, can often face unique marital stressors. This article explores strategies for strengthening marriages using a sample of adoptive couples who participated in marriage enrichment events sponsored by an innovative state and federally funded Healthy Marriage Initiative project. The authors found that participation in marriage enrichment events aimed at building support networks among adoptive couples can be valuable in helping couples to bolster their relationships and find needed support from couples with similar experiences. Implications and suggestions for the continued development of marriage enrichment services with adoptive couples are given
