What Every Adoptive Parent Needs to
Know: Healing Your Child’s Wounded Heart
An Essential Resource for
Adoptive Parents
As
a young couple, Dan and Cassie Richards thought they had finally fulfilled
their dream of having a family after adopting a beautiful little boy and girl. While
the children seemed happy on the outside, deep inside they were suffering from
the hidden trauma that so many adopted children carry with them. Because of the
rejection, neglect, and abandonment they experience in the first few months of
life, some adopted children are imprinted with the subconscious belief that at
their core they are unlovable and worthless, even if their new parents are
nurturing and loving.
What
Every Adoptive Parent Needs to Know offers adoptive parents and
parents-to-be a solution. By following the threads of the Richards’ moving
story, clarified by insightful analysis and practical advice from family
therapist Kate Cremer-Vogel, readers of this compelling book discover it is
never too late to heal the wounded heart of a child.
This
remarkable true-life story of raising two adopted children is a tale of hope
and resilience, of two parents unprepared for their children’s psychological
wounds that only time would reveal. Most importantly, it shows that profound
healing is possible when adoptive families realize that traditional parenting
is not enough.
