The Impacts of Trauma on Adopted & Foster Children

Trauma. It's something that you hear a lot about these days.

For our adopted and foster kiddos, it's not just a trend. Not just a buzz word. It's real. VERY real.

Most people can understand that kiddos who experienced neglect or abuse have been impacted by trauma. And they have.

But not everyone can wrap their heads around the idea that ALL adopted and foster kiddos have experienced trauma.

Our adopted and foster kiddos were born to another mother. Attachment with her began in utero. They are wired for her. And when they came to us, there was a breach in that attachment. And that is trauma. 

Whether they came to us at day 1, year 1, or year 10, they have come to us impacted by trauma.

When we can understand that, truly understand it, it will make a big difference. ​
