Trauma + The Body In Adoption and Foster Care

Foster & adoptive mamas:

Whether your child was in your arms immediately after delivery or as a teenager, you can assume there is some layer of adoption trauma + loss.

This is not a personal attack on us as mothers, so let’s not take it as such ♥️

I constantly want to invite moms to take on the posture of empowering our kids on a journey of wholeness.

There is always more to learn, always things to be reminded of.

Read the books. Follow the accounts. Listen to podcasts. Listen to adoptees. Go to conferences (hashtag post pandemic). Enroll in family + individual therapy (with a therapist specializing in adoption trauma).

This is a lifelong commitment to healing & making space for our children to also heal.
