The Attach Place & Love Matters Parenting Win the Prize "Before the adoption, I could imagine the deep love I'd feel for my child. I could imagine the joy. I could not imagine how the behaviors would send me almost over the brink. Help!" The love and joy are real--and so are the inner wounds that can create such pain and disarray in our child's life and in ours. Ce Eshelman, LMT, has been through this big-time, and she shares her heartaches, triumphs, and wisdom with us at The Attach Place and in her book, "Drowning with my Hair on Fire; Insanity Relief for Adoptive Parents." And, if you are a member of Love Matters Parenting, you also get an international Facebook therapeutic-parenting family you can lean on for support and advice. And, an in-depth curriculum on how to help not just your child, but YOU too (that's in reverse order, though, Ce will tell us). And weekly discussion groups with Ce and other parents that guide you through the curriculum. All of this together has made an incredible, deep-down difference for me and my family. Better than anything else I've tried or joined. If you're a struggling adoptive parent, you have found home.

Change is possible This is where you will get the support and help you need on your foster or adoptive journey. It's been life changing and life saving for our family. There's work involved, and lasting change takes time, so start now. We are three years in with working with the Love Matters Parenting Society and The Attach Place and we have experienced so much growth and healing and HOPE.

I thought I knew a lot about… I thought I knew a lot about attachment. This membership 1.) Taught me much more; 2.) Reminds me daily to connect with my children, even when it’s hard; 3.) Provides me with an understanding, knowledgeable group of Facebook friends who have all been where I am. Plus, there’s Ce and Andrea, who sincerely care about every family. The membership helps me become the parent I want to be every day.

Every adoptive parent should be here Every adoptive parent should be here! Clearly this is a place where people understand me and my children, they know what we’re walking through, and they have so much wisdom and love to share. Before we joined, we were stressed and having daily battles. Now we understand where our kids are coming from and we have the skills to help them through it rather than battling against them. And attachment has grown so much in the process!

The Attach Place The Attach Place, along with the Love Matters Parenting Society, has saved our family from imploding. When no other program worked, we found desperately needed support (after many years of searching) at The Attach Place. With lots of guidance, we have learned how to navigate the ups and downs of raising children from difficult beginnings in a loving and therapeutic way. The community support that has been built here is priceless! We have used The Attach Place for neurofeedback, parent coaching, mindfulness, and theraplay...all wonderful experiences. Our family is healing and thriving. We have been with The Attach Place since 2018.
