Attachment is a process that can be taught and learned. In adoption, attachment parenting is important to ensure that children feel secure and safe in their placement. Attachment strategies begin from the first meeting and must be nurtured throughout the lifetime of the adoptive relationship. Topics include promoting attachment, attachment disorders, regression associated with delayed or weak attachment, and practical strategies to help children attach despite birth family separation and attachment challenges.
