Don’t Give Up on Kids like Charlie and Moms Like Me [Blog.AttachmentTraumaNetwork.org]

I originally gave these remarks at the ASAP Conference in early June. Several details have been edited to maintain some privacy of children I have fostered and adopted.

Thank you so much for having me today. In 2006 my husband and I became foster parents. Our plan was foster for 10 years and to work so diligently with birth families that all the kids who came through our home would return to happy, whole birth parents. But I’m here at an adoption conference, so you can guess what came of that plans…
