20 THINGS ADOPTION PODCAST with Sherrie Eldridge
Adoptive parents are more than aware that their child has suffered great loss in relinquishment, and they long to create a haven of love for their child.
However, many times, the adopted child pushes love away. This can be because of RAD and the trauma that keeps hijacking the child’s brain.
Some children don’t exhibit pushback behavior until their teen years or when they are searching for their biological roots.
Adoptive parents must prepare themselves for this possibility by hearing the stories of other parents. They will realize:
1. They are not alone.
2. The pushback isn’t proof of ineffective parenting.
3. Their child can heal.
