Adoption is a positive thing but some children can struggle with attachment, never feeling truly at home. Reactive Attachment Disorder, one of the downsides of finding a new family, is tackled in the January issue of Pink, out with The Times tomorrow.

But family issues do not stop there. The magazine also meets a woman who has been in an orphanage for 69 years and has no intention of leaving the institution that is her home.

Pink takes a peek into the Young People’s Unit at Mount Carmel Hospital to shed light on the kids who have to spend time in the mental health hospital and how it tries to create the family environment they have been taken away from.

The focus of tomorrow’s issue may be the importance of a stable unit in life but Pink also starts the New Year with a look at what readers can pick up in the sales and mix together for an eclectic, anything-goes look, while health, beauty, fitness, culture, psychology, horoscopes, humour, home décor and more continue to find their place in the monthly women’s magazine.

Pink picks a woman for every month of last year, women who made it on to the newspapers for whatever reason; women we may forget; and women we may be hearing more of in the future.

And for some gender balance, its back-page interview is dedicated to Oscar-winning, Hollywood actor and heartthrob Benicio del Toro.

Published by Allied Newspapers Ltd and printed by Progress Press, Pink is produced by Mediamaker. Its executive editor is Fiona Galea Debono and it is designed by Helen Cassar Torreggiani and Joseph Schembri.
