83. Attachment Problems With Adoptive Childern adoption issues; Healthy attachments occur between child and parent from repeated acts of nurturing, protection, care, and stimulation which can be inturupted http://www.montcalmschool.org/adoption-issues.html

I - Attachment Problems With Adoptive Children Healthy attachments occur between child and parent from repeated acts of nurturing, protection, care, and stimulation. Early abuse and/or neglect interfere with healthy attachments. Repeated failed reunification trials or placement opportunities complicate future attachments. Developmental delays may occur as a result of interruptions of the normal developmental process. Supportive relationships need to be maintained as a child moves from place to place. Truthful disclosures help the child heal and grow. It is necessary to confront the child's dysfunctional patterns. Nurturing and empathy encourages emotional growth. II - Healthy Attachment Patterns The process of bonding and attachment is critical in the child's first three years of life. The child needs to learn that if he has a need, someone will gratify the need, so he learns to trust others. The early relationship with the child's mother serves as a building block for future relationships. It is powerful and involves all aspects of the child, including neurological, physical, and emotional behavior and cognitive and social development. The child learns to develop trust in others.

Adoption on the Usenet Contents Usenet newsgroups: alt.adoption alt.adoption.agency soc.adoption.adoptees ... Other Reference Material Introduction: Usenet newsgroups about adoption alt.adoption The alt.adoption Usenet newsgroup is a place where all those contemplating or affected by adoption can (and do!) air their views. Adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents relate their experience, and debate the current state of the social institution of adoption. alt.adoption is seen by some as a support group, and in particular as a meeting place for those who are searching for information about separated birth relatives and those who can help them. A Volunteer Search Network has sprung up to help coordinate some of these activities. alt.adoption is also an educational tool in the political sense, to change the consciousness of those who may believe that the institution of adoption is an unalloyed success, a place to point out shortcomings in current as well as past practice and to advocate changes. Politics is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people looking for sympathy and support will be disappointed. Yet, politics is the midwife of social change, and it is certain that adoption is an institution in the midst of change. alt.adoption.agency

Thus the infant learned to shut down. Slowly he learned not to feel the pain in his middle as much or the sores on him from the cold and constantly wet nappy. He learned to stare at the marks on the ceiling and when he could move, he learned to rock back and forth to meet his own needs for stimulation as best as he could. These early experiences that continued and worsened for my son left him with neurological, emotional, social, and physiological issues that have affected every part of his life including school. He has learned to compensate for many of them, and he is still healing with the Lord’s help. School continues to be the biggest stressor in his life, and I struggle to find the one or two people in his school that will take the time to understand my wounded son.

95. The Adopted Child - AACAP Facts For Families # 15 adoptions"). adoption helps issues related to being adopted. If parents are concerned, they should seek professional assistance. Children who are preoccupied with their adoption http://www.aacap.org/publications/factsfam/adopted.htm

T HE A DOPTED C HILD No. 15 (Updated 4/99) A pproximately 120,000 children are adopted each year in the United States. Children with physical, developmental, or emotional handicaps who were once considered unadoptable are now being adopted ("special needs adoptions"). Adoption helps many of these children to grow up in permanent families rather than in foster homes or institutions. Parents with an adopted child wonder whether, when, and how to tell their child that he or she is adopted. They also want to know if adopted children face special problems or challenges. Child and adolescent psychiatrists recommend that the child be told about the adoption by the adoptive parents. Children should be told about their adoption in a way that they can understand. There are two different views on when a child should be told they are adopted. Many experts believe the child should be told at the youngest possible age. This approach provides the child an early opportunity to accept and integrate the concept of being "adopted." Other experts believe that telling a child too early may confuse the young child who can't really understand the information. These experts advise waiting until the child is older. In either case, children should learn of their adoption from the adoptive parents. This helps give the message that adoption is good and that the child can trust the parents. If the child first learns about the adoption intentionally or accidentally from someone other than parents, the child may feel anger and mistrust towards the parents, and may view the adoption as bad or shameful because it was kept a secret.
