what is attachment disorder????

Attachment disorder is a disorder that results from abandonment of an infant - in utero or the first 2 years of life. Families can be devastated by this disorder as it affects one of the children. Families feel alienated and
misunderstood by others, as others cannot believe a child can exhibit such behaviors.
In a future blog, I will discuss more symptoms and behaviors of the children.
Children often experience multiple diagnoses when they have been adopted from other countries,
orphanages, and/or within the child welfare system of the U.S.
Some of these difficulties include Fetal Alcohol Effects or Syndrome, Developmental Delays, Bipolar Disorder,
and ADHD, to name a few. I am a big believer in the genetic component and birth parent problems are often
passed on to the children.
More later!!
Please feel free to add.
