What Children in Care Really Need: Mirela Zoltan on Trauma, Trust & Belonging

In this Professional Talk, Humphrey Hawksley speaks with Mirela Zoltan on her experiences in care, adoption, fostering to connecting with her biological family in Romania.

What does a child labelled “difficult” or “problematic” actually need? For Mirela Zoltan, the answer became clear only after years of abandonment, disrupted relationships and repeated moves through adoption, foster care and residential settings: to be listened to, to feel wanted and to know that someone would stay.
