Book Reviews of Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today's Parents
Book Review: Difficult Adjustment
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this after we adopted two older boys from a foreign country. One of them had terrible moods, threw and broke things, bit me, hid in the closets, refused to go to school etc. Even as a Social Worker, I was discouraged. This book was very helpful putting things in perspective.Book Review: Excellent!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
Attaching to children who have been through the foster care or orphanage system is not an easy task. This book spelled out the concerns and offered solutions for real people. There is a focus on therapy that some people may resist, but I say it is worth it for the child's overall well-being. I think one of the most helpful points of the book involves being realistic in your expectations - you may love that kid before you even meet, but that kid may take awhile to be able to love you. Awhile may be counted in years. The time it takes is based on the child's needs and not yours. How to work through this so that you still feel satisfied being a parent is talked about in the book. As the adult, you need to continue to help the child learn to trust and attach. That is a wonderful gift to give to a child. I will use this book as a resource for many years to come.Book Review: Incredibly useful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has a lot of useful information. Not only just for parenting adopted children, but also for any child. We are reading this before we pick up our adopted daughter, and it is already helping to fine tune our family relationships with our biological children. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is going to adopt a toddler or older child.
