Reactive Attachment Disadvantages

While most would think that adopting a child has many pros, it will certainly have many cons if not handled properly. One of the cons include Reactive Attachment Disorder. Reactive Attachment Disorder is a disorder when infants do not have a proper caregiver, and result in having attachment disorders because their needs were not fulfilled. This is the power of nurture and how important it is for infants to have the proper attention and care in order to develop healthy relationships with people. Without the proper care, and bonding experience, infants experience neglect and trauma.

So my policy is to start when the adoption process starts with the new potential parents. My proposed solution is to bring awareness to the people that are interested in adopting children of Reactive Attachment Disorder. When adopting children, the potential parents are given health records that mainly describes physical conditions but touch nothing about Reactive Attachment Disorder. Potential parents should be taught that children in institutions and foster care programs need more attention and care. Potential parents should also be examined thoroughly before being able to adopt children, to lessen the chances of treating the child unwell and also lessen the chances of unadopting the child. Unadopting a child will have detrimental effects on the child since they aren't attached to a caregiver properly and even worsen the disorder. So, the potential parents should be examined if they're financially and emotionally stable enough to adopt the child. After that, the potential parents will be educated, and be offered therapy services to help connect the child with their parents as well. This way, the child will grow up in a healthier and more loving environment, helping to lessen the effects of Reactive Attachment
