[quote=Anonymous]I want to support a point raised earlier in relation to question #6: above all, I would counsel anyone considering adoption to get solid, informed training around attachment issues. One problem we encountered was that the discussion of attachment dealt only with most extreme form of reactive attachment disorder. But as another poster noted, attachment issues show up in a variety of ways, and may well show up long after you believe that you and your child have bonded as a family. My intent here is not to stigmatize families built through adoption; rather, I want folks to recognize that adoptees may (not will) face particular ongoing challenges around issues of identity and attachment, often in unpredictable ways. I would also recommend parenting classes and/or family therapy with a focus on attachment. CASE is a good place to start for that.[/quote]
