[quote=Anonymous]DH and I adopted a deeply traumatized kid who was close to turning 9. The first year all of his energy went into forming a relationship with, and learning to trust DH and I, and we encouraged that, keeping him close, making sure that we provided all of his care. Gradually, he expanded that circle of trust to others, but it was slow, and it started with the family members who he saw most frequently, such as his new older sibling, or a grandparent who lived close by and saw him several times a week.
