We have all wondered what a child who has had multiple transitions (being placed from home to home)
would be like. We worry about this and we try very hard in Foster Care not to let this happen to very many children.

But, sometimes it does happen and when it does, it has a great affect on the child. It causes attachment disorders and a multiple of other things.
Michael Trout created a video of "A child's point of view on foster care and adoption."

In this video the voice of a child describes how they felt when they were taken from their fathers arms and put into placement after placement.

If you have time and want to read the dialog Adoption.Org has permission to reprint it.
Michael Trout is the Director of the Infant-Parent Institute. He has 25 years of experience and is a leader in the field of infant mental health.

I welcome you to visit adopting.org and read this
over view of the video. I found it to be heart touching. They have included the web site where you can order the video. I think this would be a good source of training hours for Foster/Adoptive Parents.

Let me know what you think......comments are so welcome.
