Did you know that over half the kids that live with us at Heartlight boarding school come from adoptive families? People ask us all the time why we have so many adopted kids in our program.
The answer is a little complex, as I really think it has to do more with the parents and their ability to handle the presenting issues than it does the actual issues that are being fleshed out in the life of a child.
There are times that parents are “blindsided” by problems and issues that they don’t know how to handle, and just when they tackle that problem, another comes from out of “left field” to complicate everything just a little more.

We love adoption, and we love teenagers.

In our new eBook Parenting an Adopted Teen, we’ll guide you through the common issues we’ve seen in adopted teens, answer questions such as, “Do adopted kids have more problems than birth children?”, and give you practical application tips for helping your adopted child feel confident in their place in your family and secure in their relationship with you.
