At the Attachment and Bonding Center (ABC) of Ohio, we place particular emphasis on fostering the connection between adopted children and their parents.  By re-working the early life experiences that interfered with normal developmental processes, we help the children let go of their anger, resentment, and fear.  With this release comes the freedom to experience closeness and trust with others - resulting in a greater likelihood that they will attach to their adoptive families. To achieve this end, we provide a variety of services tailored to the specific issues of children with attachment difficulties, as well as those whose lives are intertwined with theirs:

  • Family and Child Assessment -- A detailed evaluation of each case to determine the intensity level of treatment. Attachment Enhancement -- For children who are experiencing stress due to a change in primary caregiver, adoption, foster care or severe medical condition. Attachment Therapy -- Treatment for attachment issues ranging from bi-weekly therapy to a two-week intensive, with many options in between. Sibling Assessment -- Assistance with the decision to place siblings together or separately. Pre-Adoptive Counseling -- For parents who are considering adoption, provided is identification and review of a diversity of issues that are present in any adoption. Post-Placement Services -- Created for those who have adopted both domestically and internationally, this service aids in family integration.
  • Birth Parent Information -- Assistance to adoptive families in sharing sensitive and difficult information with their adopted children.
