What does it mean to build strong families in adoption and foster care? Building strong, stable, and secure familes in adoption and foster care requires a different set of skills compared to building them through birth. The trauma, loss, and separation experienced by adopted or fostered children can make the family-building journey more complex than traditional parenting.
In this scenario, parents must use their experience, intuition, love, and patience as well as work with experts, therapists, social workers, etc who are familiar with adoption and fostering to help navigate these often uncharted challenges. Many adoptive families are forced into therapy, support groups, or both by their children's needs rather than wanting them.
