Blessed are the peacemakers.

It is time for us to make peace for children with RAD.

  • I hope that these children are able to find peace and a sense of belonging with us.
  • I hope that my husband and I can find peace as a couple and accept that we are meant to do this.
  • I hope that these children's biological parents can find peace in their turbulent lives and recognize that these children still love them, despite it all, The family and will likely want to re-connect when the time is right.


It may feel like defiant devotion today, but it is devotion just the same, and they will feel our love and commitment today and many tomorrows to come.

If you would like further information regarding our tools and resources as a family, feel free to contact us at:
