Do you ever feel confused about what went wrong in your foster or adoption story? Are you fearful about the future of your marriage and your children? Do you ever feel overwhelmed and desperate for help?
You are not alone.
This book is for parents who feel embarrassed by their dashed hopes of adoption and fearful about the future of their marriage and their children.
In this book, Marcy Pusey demystifies attachment disorders, the impact of complex emotional trauma on our homes, and addresses current treatment options. More than anything, this book will help the hurting adoptive family realize they are not alone in their desire to raise healthy kids and reclaim a healthy home. Marcy Pusey knows first-hand.
