Our hearts go out to the victims and all those who have been impacted from our community in the wake of the tragedy at Monday’s Boston Marathon. We are also inspired by the efforts and response of so many caring individuals who rushed in to help.
This event is a trauma. We know that most of our children who are adopted have already experienced trauma, at a minimum in separation from their birth families. Adoption Associates would like to offer this space as a forum for families to share their ideas and what they have experienced in their families in response to this senseless violence. Anxiety, depression, a need to talk… all of this may become very important in the days to follow. Our thoughts and desires for healing are also prevalent, as we work towards understanding.
