Ten Beautiful Years (...And a Heart FULL of Hope!)

“Reactive Attachment Disorder with Hypervigilance” -diagnosed in 1995. Things got better, MUCH better, Beautiful even! ***TEN BEAUTIFUL YEARS*** The age-appropriate-season-of-detachment reawakened RAD within our adoptees in a manner that TOTALLY blindsided us, YET...EVERY professional we encountered said this was “common” to adopted individuals. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL US? Would we have listened? Here I share my experiences, and Strength related to parenting RAD... with my heart FULL of hope!
