Adoptive parenting

Adoptive parenting refers to the process of raising a child who has been legally adopted, meaning the child is not biologically related to the parents. Adoptive parents provide love, support, and a nurturing environment, similar to biological parents. They often navigate unique challenges, such as helping the child understand their adoption story, addressing identity issues, and managing any trauma from previous experiences. Adoptive parenting emphasizes building strong emotional bonds, ensuring the child's well-being, and sometimes maintaining connections with the child's birth family, depending on the circumstances of the adoption.
