"""Like Marcy, I was a trained therapist who had specific training in trauma-informed care, attachment disorders. I had worked with numerous kids of various ages who were adopted, or in the foster care system. I thought I was ready when my husband and I decided to bring our first foster child home. Instead, we went through many of the difficulties that Marcy described in this book. We were clueless, and my training failed me. While we struggled, I read resource after resource about parenting kids with attachment disorders. None of them rang as true as this book does! As I was reading her words, I kept shaking my head, and highlighting long passages. Marcy is RIGHT ON with her descriptions, her insight, and her applicable advice. I only wish I had this book when we had kids in our house! I will be buying several copies and sending them to my friends who have children with attachment issues. I know it will be one of the best, most helpful books they have ever read. I have no doubt this book will validate their difficult experiences, while helping them find ways to love their children, and maintaining a greater level of sanity in the household."" --Mia Montgomery ""Author Marcy Pusey, is an expert in the field of childhood trauma, attachment disorders, foster care and Adoption. She brings to the table her personal and professional experience and valuable insights through her parenting journey. Through her book she walks this journey along side of you. This book is chock-full of information backed by current research and the latest updates on the topic. You can save yourself hours of research by finding true and tested wisdom in the pages of this book. This book is wholistic in that she offers help and wisdom for the ""parenting"" job as well as for the ""parent"". Personally, being someone who has been on the path of recovery from trauma in my own attachment history, I found this book very helpful. Although I'm not a foster or adoptive parent, I found insights that I can use in my own parenting. I highly recommend this book."" --Anita Oommen ""This book brought tears to my eyes and put into words better than I could express the challenges we face raising an adopted child with AD. I have been searching for help for 7 years and this is the greatest resource I have found yet! Marcy's faith in God and her knowledge about Attachment Disorder from the perspective of a mom and therapist is exactly what I needed, and intend to use to share with others around me who are in my daughter's life to help understand her better. The list of resources and suggestions in the last chapter are wonderful!"" --Mmunities"
