Bridging Resilience

A Guide to Healing for Adoptees and Former Foster Youth, Families, and the Leaders Who Walk with Them
BY MARY ANN MCMILLLAN

What if the healing we long for isn’t found in returning to the past, but in learning how to carry it forward with wisdom, faith, and honesty? Written by a former foster child and adoptee, this book blends lived experience, therapeutic insight, and biblical reflection to explore the lifelong impact of early separation, identity disruption, and attachment trauma. There is still room for restoration. Healing is possible. Connection is possible. And together, we can bridge the gap.
