About the author
David Solomon and his wife, Kathleen, adopted their daughters at ten and twelve years old from two different state departments of social services. Their daughters are now twenty-seven and thirty-one. In the intervening years, as a family, they have navigated the fallout from the severe abuse and neglect their daughters suffered prior to adoption—and the resulting profound negative emotional consequences and diagnoses.
David’s philosophies, principles, and practices have been developed and shared with his daughters. He has learned a great deal about the challenges of parenting—and the additional challenges of caring for children adopted when they were older with pre-adoption histories and traumas. Over the years, David has learned the intricacies of psychology and psychiatry as he strived to ensure the well-being of his daughters. With this lived experience and hard-won wisdom, he wants to help parents help their children and families.
