Adoptive families—especially those who adopt children from foster care—often need extra support. Many children in foster care, including those waiting for adoption, have special physical, mental health, and developmental needs resulting from past trauma, drug and alcohol exposure, and multiple and unexplained separations and loses. Parents need additional knowledge and support in dealing with these complex issues. Mental health professionals need the proper adoption-competent training, which is crucial as child trauma and adoption issues presents unique challenges for these families.

​

"For a variety of reasons, mental health professionals typically do not receive the training required to fill adoption-related counseling needs and, too often, either do not fully understand why such training is necessary or mistakenly believe the knowledge they already have is sufficient."

– Dr. David Brodzinsky, Ph.D. Psychologist & Author
