Adding a child to your family changes the dynamics for everyone, but most especially for the children who are already in the home. We talked with Gail Heaton, the biological mother to five children and an adoptive mother to twins. She is a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) practitioner and Circle of Security Parenting facilitator. She founded Suddenly SiblingsTM to help parents prepare their children already in the home when a family adopts or fosters. We also talked with Molly Heaton, an adult resident sibling, and a big sister for 15 years to Russian-born, orphanage-raised, twin adoptive brothers with special needs due to early trauma.
