Avery Altose - Attachment & Adoption

Subscribe for thoughtful, trauma-aware parenting content focused on adoption & attachment.

This channel is for parents with intention: where actions & values are aligned, emotions are taken seriously & conflict is approached with curiosity rather than control. I share reflections on attachment parenting, adoption & emotionally intelligent caregiving, with an emphasis on protecting connection.

When we choose to adopt, we are welcoming children with histories of loss and trauma. Prospective Adoptive Parents (PAPs) need additional learning & support to parent well in this context. I offer Adoption Doula support for PAPs seeking structured emotional support & informed guidance through the home-study process, match, travel & early post-adoption period.

My work is shaped by lived experience, extensive reading by leaders in their fields, university courses & a deep respect for adoptee voices.

I am grateful to live, work & play on Algonquin Anishinaabe territory in Canada.
