If our kids come from trauma life can be dark. Where's the bright light of hope? It's in neuro-plasticity, the brain's built in capacity to change. Melissa translates the science into every day language we can all understand and sets out practical ways to harness neuroplasticity so our kids can thrive.

Melissa is an adoptee and adoptive mom. Here's a bit about her and her organisation from their website

Patrick and I are parents to six by both birth and adoption (ages 14-23). Our open-door policy has blessed us with lots of honorary family members along the way. As an Enneagram Coach, Safe and Sound Practitioner, and Empowered to Connected parent trainer, I love helping families laugh more and yell less. I hate cleaning and love extra crispy french fries.

Here at the Adoption Connection, we use our real-life experiences in adoptive parenting to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

You’ll find practical resources rooted in our faith in Jesus and backed by brain-science to bring you hope for your family’s future at
