Class Summary: Attachment
Last night in class we talked about attachment and how all of our positive attachments stem from our first/primary positive attachment. It was interesting to hear about how attempting to sever the ties or attachment with a child's birth family will actually sever the child's attachment to you and your family as well. I think its a great perspective to keep going into this. I know a lot of people foster because they wish to adopt and that desire can sometimes lead to them intentionally or unintentionally weakening the relationship with their child's primary family. I think its good that we are forced to see the damage that causes early in the process so there is no confusion about whether advocating for a birth family is in the best interest of the child.
