8 – Adoption Trauma Defined! Part 1: How to Understand Its Causes and Effects with Jane Baker

A Conversation With Adoption Trauma Therapist, Jane Baker

Hi Neighbor!⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣In this episode, I'm excited to introduce to you, my neighbor from Alabama, Jane Baker. Jane will be talking about adoption and adoption trauma.

One thing you’re going to notice right away is Jane’s passion for adopted kids. It was her passion that made a huge difference in my son’s life and my family.

Jane was a member of the treatment team for my son when he was away from us at the Residential Treatment Center for Teens. 

I know my son wouldn't be where he is today had it not been for people like Jane as he was coming to terms with his adoption trauma.

This is a Must-Listen episode. You’re going to want to take notes. There’s so much here.

Make sure to listen until the end.

Hoping and Healing are on the way!

TAKEAWAYS...

1. Adoption is as normal as rain. It's just different. 
2. Babies experience what their birth mothers experience.
3. If you could weigh adoption trauma on a scale, the intensity of behaviors on one side and the intensity of loss on the other side will ALWAYS balance out.
4. When children are placed for adoption, there is a wound that goes along with them... whatever it is, they have to do the healing part.
5. For some children, it’s a bigger struggle than for others.
