Many of the challenges of adoption parenting are not widely talked about, and yet would give adoptive parents a head start and a serious advantage in terms of understanding what their adopted child is going through.
This video is about the research I undertook into wellbeing in the adoptee group and the findings of that research. The result is a toolkit that anyone considering adoption can use in order to make sure the relationship with their adoptive child is healthy and supportive. This in turn will lead to a more satisfying relationship with your adoptee and greater wellbeing in both of your lives.
If you are already an adoptive parent, it's never too late to incorporate some of these things into how you relate to your child, in order to build trust and find a deeper meaning and connection between you.
If you are an adoptive parent, prospective adoptive parent, adoptee or bio parent, I hope you find something that resonates and supports you.
