It's Adoption Awareness month... And Focus on the Family can be an excellent source of information about Reactive Attachment Disorder, Adoption, and how to best be supportive adoptive families.
They have a half-hour radio program they broadcast M-F and November 1 they had a program that continued into November 2nd's broadcast.
Focus on the Family Adoption Broadcast November 1, 2011
Part II November 2, 2011
I listened to it... I was wondering if the Broadcast would mention Reactive Attachment Disorder... I was eager to hear what they might say because I have been so very impressed in how they've covered the matter on their website Focus on the Family Adoption Resource links
And I've been especially impressed with the WRAP Around Adoptive Families information they promote encouraging Christian Church attendees to provide the kinds of practical help that would BEST serve families who have given their hearts and homes to adoption. Free WRAP information
Well I couldn't listen to the full broadcast... Not that there was anything specifically wrong with it...
The adoptive family featured did have experience with a RAD child... it turns out the RAD child was only with their family a very short time... and Mom kind of giggled nervously as she explained that if you've never encountered a Reactive Attachment Disordered Child... they can be perceived as very-very-naughty, yet they are no-less deserving of having a family.
We only listened a few minuets more into the first broadcast. What we heard was flowery wonderfulness of how beautiful the adoptive family was.
My big strong hubby broke down and cried... he more than cried... he SOBBED...
We gave them the most precious of all our possessions... our hearts.
