In today's episode, we invited Laura Adams. Laura is a passionate champion of children from hard places and their families. Laura is the Founder of FACTS4safefamilies.com providing education, support, and advocacy to improve understanding of adoptive and foster children and complex trauma. Through over 20
years of work with international adoption and parenting her own adopted children with special
needs, she saw firsthand the challenges that exist in getting the proper assessments and
support in schools, especially in mental healthcare. Laura is a strong advocate for attachment-based interventions and today works to transform school social work to provide better outcomes for adopted and foster children. She is the Founder of Sequoia Family Ministries supporting adoptive families in Northern Illinois and serves on the Unique Abilities Advocacy Council (UAAC) for One Chance, Illinois,
empowering families of unique learners in education. She has worked as a reading instructor in schools and private tutoring for over ten years. Laura and her husband Don have four daughters aged 31-16, including two from China, and reside on the Northshore of Chicago.
