Adoption and Attachment Issues
Help FormIs your adopted son struggling to integrate with your family?
Capstone Treatment Center has worked with countless young men experiencing attachment issues. Attachment disorder in teens and young adults lies on a continuum with reactive attachment disorder on the severe end of the spectrum. For families, adoption is an adjustment process that requires significant investment in new relationships, monetary resources, restructuring of the family system, and more.
Is it normal for my adopted son to push me away?
Adding a member to your family is never a simple process. Trauma from adoption can be complex and layered as young men navigate their place in a new family. This can often result in your son pushing the boundaries of relationship to test what is safe for them and who is safe for them.
You are not alone in the search to help your son. The fear of abandonment, physical and especially emotional abandonment, is at our core as human beings perhaps our greatest fear and thus could become our greatest hurt.
