All of these children have been removed from their birth families, which causes significant psychological damage. Many were removed due to mental illness, abuse, neglect and or drug/alcohol use in the home. This further impacts the trauma they experience. Children with attachment problems often have learning lags, ADD or ADHD, difficulty trusting adults and caretakers, difficulty in school and social situations, and trouble with the law.
