About Adoptive Parents Network -
Who We Are
|
|
The Adoptive Parents Network website was officially launched in March of 2007. Under the name originally inspired by the members of a real life Adoptive Parents Support group which met in Oregon. The Adoptive Parents Network started out as a parent driven support group of five local adoptive mothers including Anna Glendenning. Anna Glendenning, had originally started a personal website HappyMomAnna.com and small support forum in order to keep track of information and resources during 2005. When it became clear the personal website had become a connecting point for foster, adoptive and special needs parents Anna decided it was important to give the website a real name and domain. |

Attachment and Bonding

Adoptive parents may believe healthy bonding and attachment is something "we" need to worry about more than any other issue. The truth is bonding and attachment is something every parent needs to understand and meet the needs during the critical stages of development. Attachment Disorders are not only issues for Adopted children even if they are more acceptably diagnosed. |

The U.S. Department of Education issued final regulations on December 1, 2008 amending several important rules relating to special education and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA. Parents may be most interested in two of the amended rules. One change offers parental rights to revoke special education services and the second allows state law to govern whether a non-lawyer may represent either the parent or the school during a due process hearing. |
