Abstract: Family reunification is one of the main deinstitutionalization strategies in the Post-Soviet countries, replacing institutional childcare systems. While the family offers a better environment for children, little is known about the challenges and opportunities that children and parents face upon reunification and how multiple traumatic experiences that occurred prior to and during separation affect the family reintegration process.
