Looking for articles/ books etc. that will assist adoptive parents better understand the possible impact of early childhood trauma. I am looking for easy to read and understand articles as well as literature for the young adolescent person experiencing the impact of past trauma.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sharon, I just streamlined the category search for Foster care/Adoption. This search covers all pertinent articles to-date on this website.

You may also want to check the #4 Foster care/Adoption section of our Resource Center. We have this resource listed from the AAP that might be helpful:

Parenting After Trauma: Understanding Your Child’s Needs

Also you might want to watch this video and contact the school for more contact info. This was an incredible presentation, imo.

Trauma Informed Care: Theory and Practice (2 hrs, 9min)

Here are some AC members interested in foster issues:

Hope this helps a little and some others w/ specific experience can add to this discussion.
