Renat is 9 years old. Before being adopted, he lived in difficult circumstances. In his new family, the boy withdrew, didn't speak, and responded aggressively to questions. He simply couldn't trust adults—those who were supposed to protect him didn't.
Children like this come into families after difficult life experiences. Lack of care, an unsafe environment, and prolonged stress leave deep psychological trauma. This can manifest itself in aggression, nightmares, stealing, or emotional withdrawal. The child pushes away his new parents, afraid to become attached because the thought of another loss is too painful. Overcoming this through care alone is often impossible.
A psychologist is needed here. They create a safe space where trauma ceases to control life. The psychologist helped Renat process his pain through play and drawing. The boy stopped fearing being cast out and let his parents in.
There are hundreds of such children. They need help to believe that they can be loved. Your donation will pay for sessions with a psychologist for the adopted children of the Find a Family foundation and give them a chance at a happy childhood.
