Adopting the Hurt Child: Hope for Families With Special-Needs Kids

It’s never too late for healing.

The world is full of hurting kids who suffer from emotional trauma caused by someone they should have been able to trust. It’s a pain that lasts into adulthood if not healed and resolved.

In this revised and updated guide to healing the emotional trauma of the adopted child, authors Gregory C. Keck and Regina M. Kupecky provide a clear picture of what it’s like to hurt and what it means to heal.

Adopting the Hurt Child brings to light grim truths, but also real hope that children who have been hurt -- and often hurt others -- can be healed and brought back into life by the adoptive and foster parents, therapists, teachers, and social workers, and others whose lives intersect with them. Through advice, tips, and success stories of those who have been there, you’ll find valuable insight and hope.

Recommended for parents who are adopting emotionally wounded children who have suffered the effects of abuse or neglect in their birth families.
