Description: Fewer and fewer families adopting today are able to bring home a healthy newborn infant. The majority of adoptions involve emotionally wounded, older children who have suffered the affects of abuse and neglect, and carry complex baggage with them into their adoptive families. This helpful and practical guide addresses, the frustrations, heartache, and hope surrounding the adoptions of these special needs kids. Children who have endured emotional and physical pain, often associated with multiple moves in the foster system, not only present challenges to their adoptive families, but also impact greater society in significant ways. Integrating, social, psychological, and social political issues, Adopting the Hurt Child explains how trauma and interruptions affected these children’s normal development and often severely undermines their capacity to function in a loving family and in society. This wonderful book is written in a non-technical style accessible to a diverse audience. It brings light to grim truths, but also real help and encouragement that the children who have been hurt, and often hurt others can be healed.
