The Truth About Older Child Adoption Part 2
Q: What are the unique joys and challenges of adopting an older child?
Joy often comes in small, incremental moments of progress and moments of trust; challenges include managing grief, trauma responses, and navigating new family routines, while staying consistent and supportive.
The Truth About Older Child Adoption Part 2
Q: Why do families seem drawn to adopt older children?
Because they often want to provide stability to a child who has experienced trauma, and sometimes they have more capacity and readiness after having raised their own children; they also value knowing the child's history and the possibility of a more developed connection.
Meet the Host: Heather Featherston
Q: What advice do you find yourself consistently giving to new hopeful adoptive parents?
Keep an open mind about how modern open adoption works, understand that the birth mother and her family have significant influence over the contact and match, and focus on building trust and flexible, customized plans that honor everyone involved.
Parenting Beyond Placement: An Open Adoption Journey with MaryAnne Budden
Q: What advice would you give to new adoptive families about managing expectations after placement?
Enter parenting after placement with boundaries that can adapt over time, seek support early, listen to gut instincts about the child's needs, and lean on open channels with the birth family for the child's best interest.
Parenting Beyond Placement: An Open Adoption Journey with MaryAnne Budden
Q: What does open adoption look like in day-to-day family life?
