At some point your parenting dreams can shatter, and raising a hurt child becomes more like a burden than a blessing. But don t give up. With time, patience, informed parenting, and appropriate therapy, your adopted child can heal, grow, and develop beyond what seems possible now. From insights gathered through years of working with adopted kids who have experienced early trauma, Gregory C. Keck and Regina M. Kupecky explain how to manage a hurting child with loving wisdom and resolve, and how to preserve your stability while untangling their thorny hearts. We hope that what we share will give you strength, courage, and commitment, write the authors. We hope you will tap into your own resources and creativity to become the parent you ve always wanted to be. If you ve adopted a child, whatever the circumstances, you ll find hope and healing on these pages for you, your family, and especially your adopted child.
