Attachment & Trauma Network's Nov/Dec 2010 Hoofbeats Newsletter

As a special holiday gift, the Attachment & Trauma Network (ATN) has made this issue of its bi-monthly newsletter, Hoofbeats, available to both ATN members and non-members alike.

Included in this issue is a discussion of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute's recent policy report Keeping the Promises: The Critical Need for Post-Adoption Services to Enable Children and Families to Succeed.

The issue also features confidential but honest responses provided by experienced ATN members regarding their current attitudes and feelings about adoption, with a consensus that those considering foster and international adoption must become as informed as possible prior to making this lifelong commitment.
