A Mother's Discovery of Reactive Attachment Disorder

A Mother's Discovery of Reactive Attachment Disorder

This is about a mother’s story of she and her husband’s discovery of Reactive Attachment Disorder. Her story is familiar to hundreds of families. It was very familiar to my wife and to me.

Allison and her family are friends of ours. Their experiences they have with their adopted son is very similar with the experience we have had with our adopted daughter. I’m so grateful they found the help they have needed through good friends and through The Institute for Attachment and Development.
