RAISING ADOPTED CHILDREN: PRACTICAL REASSURING ADVICE FOR EVERY ADOPTIVE PARENT
Author: Lois Ruskai Melina
Publisher/Manufacturer: Harper Perennial
Making the transition from a childless person to an adoptive parent can be an overwhelming experience. Author Lois Ruskai Melina, a noted expert on adoption policy, the editor of the Adopted Child newsletter and the mother of two adopted children, guides readers from their children's infancy through adolescence.
Her advice incorporates the latest psychological and sociological research on adoption, addressing parents' concerns about issues such as development, bonding and attachments, whether it's appropriate to tell a child he was adopted, what the child's school needs to know, and how to set limits on contact with biological parents. She also covers international, transracial, and open adoptions, and includes a thorough list of references and resources.
