You prepared for the adoption.
But were you prepared for what comes after?

A Nervous System Guide to Calming Meltdowns and Building Connection in Foster and Adoptive Families

Bringing a child into your family through adoption or foster care can be an incredible experience. It can also bring challenges that traditional parenting advice may not prepare you for.

The Adoption Parenting Playbook helps prospective and current adoptive, foster, and kinship parents understand what may be happening beneath challenging behaviors and gives them practical tools for building safety, connection, trust, and regulation.

Written by Maxine Golden, RMFTI, a trauma-informed therapist with more than 25 years of experience working with adoptive, foster, neurodivergent, and court-involved families.
