Book Reviews of Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today's Parents
Book Review: doom and gloom
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is listed as a "must read" for all adoptive parents but all it does is focus on the worst case scenario. Not all adoptions result in aattachment issues. Also, it offers no guidence regarding how to predict if your child will have these problems. What age is best to adopt? Are there any other factors to consider? None of these factors are addressed. It operates under the assumption that if you are adopting, you will have attachment issues to deal with. Book Review: Building security for your child
