Post-Adoption Resource

I want to share what Focus on the Family is doing for families who have adopted. Check out this link and you will find counselors who are trained by Dr. Karyn Purvis (Author of The Connected Child) to talk to.

My Children

Mr. Stinky

7-years-old

He came home from Russia when he was 11 months old and I think we attached and bonded well. Since his brothers came home he has detached so we are working on building our attachment again.

Mr. Happy

4-years-old

He came home at 18-months and because of the trauma drama of his brother his attachment has been slow coming. No matter what this child is happy to a fault. He is a good boy and is the quiet loner type. He lives under a huge layer of PTSD and zones into his own little world often.

Mr. Screech

4-years-old

Came home at the same time as Mr. Happy at 18-months old. For the first three months he screamed non-stop unless he was sleeping and after three months started talking non-stop. He is super charming until there is no one around and then he falls apart. He is hyper-vigilant and obsessed about food. If I walk in the kitchen he is following me to see what I might be getting.
