Foster Care Adoption – Navigating Loss, Trauma & Long-Term Healing
Keep connected! Let me know if there is anything you need support with!
Adopting from foster care is a beautiful yet complex journey that requires deep understanding, patience, and connection. In this episode of The Art of Attachment, we explore the impact of early trauma, multiple placements, and disrupted attachment on children adopted from foster care.
We discuss why trust isn’t immediate, how grief and identity struggles show up in different ways, and why traditional parenting approaches often fail with trauma-impacted kids. Most importantly, we share practical strategies for creating safety, fostering secure attachment, and helping children heal through connection.
Whether you’re a foster/adoptive parent, an adoptee, or a professional supporting these families, this episode offers valuable insights into the long-term journey of healing.
