Older Child Adoption

What we hear most from people are their concerns about attachment traumas and bonding issues with older children who are adopted.

Those concerns are valid, because a lot of attachment style is formed in the first few years of life, but that does not mean creating healthy attachments is impossible with older children, in fact, it can come quite naturally in a majority of families!

A person’s brain is not yet fully developed until age 25! That means there is plenty of time to form new neural pathways and make healthy attachment bonds with an older adopted child.

Throughout the upcoming months we will focusing on different ways families can bond and healthily attach with their adoptive child, especially older children.
