Wisdom from Adoptive Families

https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Adoptive-Families-Challenges-Adoption/dp/1946932035

If:

  • you have adopted - reminders of how to get your head above water and probably some 'new-to-you' strategies
  • are looking into it - get an idea of what life could look like
  • know someone who has or is - get a better perspective on these families and how you can help
  • work with these families - get a better understanding of their daily life and strategies to pass on to families you work with

please spend the money and get this book.  It includes many subjects and pulls practical experience/suggestions from 40 families who adopted older children (ours included).  Even if you adopted a younger child, they may have endured trauma and that is the bottom line.

Some of the inclusions:

  • international adoption
  • adoptive + biological children
  • how others can help your family
  • finding resources
