ABOUT US >

At the Alliance for Attachment-injured Families, we are dedicated to empowering and supporting families raising adopted children with attachment injuries such as Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Our nonprofit was formed by a small core of families in our town, each of whom had adopted children through foster care. Individually, we knew we were struggling with the weight of this life—but it was our founding members who brought us together, creating a space where we could share our stories, lift each other up, and begin to heal. What started as a circle of support has grown into a mission: to bridge the gap in understanding, by offering education, advocacy, and resources. Through programs like A Paw to Hold, which provides partial scholarships for service dogs, we work to bring hope, healing, and community to families who often feel unseen and alone.
