[.uk] All About Adoption: How Families Are Made & How Kids ... (ISBN 1591470587)

Helpful book:
I am a therapist working with foster kids. I found this book to be very helpful to kids who are on the brink of being adopted. Children I've read this book with are attentive because they can identify with the information presented.

Adoption-What does it mean to children and families:
This can be a tricky issue if families and chidren are not introduced to it sensitively. This book does just that for families,children and agency staff. Domestic,foreign adoptions and the very many questions surrounding adoption are covered in a no-nonsense way in friendly language.

Anger management!:
This book has helped re-focus a lot of 8-yr-old anger. It was recommended by and is being used by the therapist. What a huge difference! Now, was it the book or just time to grow up a little? Will never know. But would highly recommend the book to other families. Used with some preparation, it can see through national borders and info levels.

Great book for preparing our birth child for adoption:
We have a 5 year old son and are planning to adopt a child through county DHR. We looked everywhere to find a book that explains adoption to our birth child. This one did the trick. It is written to the adopted child but we were able to use it with our birth child. It is full of facts instead of just being a sweet family story. It also points out that children don't have to look like the rest of the family.

Covers all the bases:
This book gives a bief overview of all types of adoption and the emotions that are felt by parents and children alike.
