Keys to Parenting and Adopted Child

Easy to read and informative. Good suggestions and insights for preparing for and becoming a bleneded family.

Great book!

This book was fabulous! It is helping us to understand some of the comments and situations we are dealing with through our adoption process!

Great information

Discusses all sorts of issues on a high level. Great introduction to issues that may come up in adoption! And it isn't "scary." ;)

Down-to-earth advice (at a great price!)

The bargain pricetag notwithstanding, this is one of the best parenting books I've ever read. It's concise but comprehensive, covering domestic and international adoption issues, special needs topics, open adoption, and a host of other important matters related to building happy, healthy adoptive families. I found the material on interracial and international adoption issues to be among the book's strongest features; the author offers great advice for sensitively answering kids' questions, straightforwardly dealing with nosy strangers, and maximizing the joy of being a multicultural family. An excellent resource.
