Trauma is real. Trauma exists. Trauma has long lasting effects. These are facts.
The removal of a child from a life filled with abuse, doesn’t negate the effects of that abuse.
The removal of child, to a safe place, doesn’t take away what has happened.
The removal of a child to a nice loving family, does not solve what has been done.
The idea that a child should be grateful for the rescue is beyond my comprehension.
Somehow these facts need to impinge on everyone’s thought processes. Not just adopters, foster carers and kinship carers. These are facts we know, but we need other people to understand.
