Summary: 5 Stars
I thought it was very, very informative. I have not yet adopted, but this is preparing me for what to expect when we do. It's a lot of information to absorb, and sometimes difficult to hear the heart breaking stories, but it's beneficial to anyone considering adopting.Book Review: Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today's Parents

This book was required by our adoption agency. It ended up being very helpful. Book Review: A Lifesaver!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone parenting a child, not only with attachment problems, but any child that has been neglected, abused or been in foster care. One chapter in particular has been a LIFESAVER for my family.
It lists the 7 stages of attachment that healthy kids go through. It give vignettes on kids in that stage. It gives parenting suggestions for parents in this stage, and a checklist to show when a child has mastered this stage and is ready to move on.
Our kids, in six months have made HUGE STRIDES with their attachment issues due ENTIRELY to this book. I used it to help them progress through the first two stages of attachment that were disrupted due to their foster placements. They are doing well and moving into stage 3.
EVERY ADOPTIVE PARENT OR PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE PARENT OR FOSTER PARENT MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!
