At the Attachment and Bonding Center (ABC) of Ohio, we place particular emphasis on fostering the connection between adopted children and their parents. By addressing early life issues – the early life experiences that interfered with normal developmental processes, we help the children let go of their anger, resentment, and fear. With this release comes the freedom to experience closeness and trust with others – resulting in a greater likelihood that they will attach to their adoptive families. To achieve this end, we provide a variety of services tailored to the specific issues of children with attachment difficulties, as well as programs for those whose lives are intertwined with theirs.

ABC of Ohio’s work is in compliance with the recommendations of the Report of the APSAC Task Force on Attachment Therapy, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and Attachment Problems. ABC of Ohio is also in compliance with the ODJFS rules which became effective July 1, 2008.
