All parents hope for close relationships with their children.   And for children, trusting their parents and feeling secure in their family is essential.  Often, adoption can pose challenges to the attachment process.  Circumstances prior to adoption experiences either in utero, in an orphanage or in foster care, can create serious barriers to attachment.
