Keep connected! Let me know if there is anything you need support with!

Adoption is more than just placement—it’s a lifelong journey of attachment, identity, and connection. In this episode of The Art of Attachment, we dive into private domestic adoption and explore how early separation, open vs. closed adoption, and identity struggles shape a child’s attachment development.

We’ll discuss how even infants experience adoption-related loss, why honesty is essential in sharing a child’s adoption story, and practical strategies to build secure attachment. Whether you’re an adoptive parent, an adoptee, or a professional supporting families, this episode will help you navigate the complexities of adoption with connection and care.
