      Synopsis

      The emotional rewards and the challenges connected with raising an adopted child are discussed at length. The author presents techniques for raising happy, well-adjusted children, blending adopted children into the family, and answering children's questions about adoption. She also discusses special considerations such as transracial adoptions, adopting older children, and adopting children with physical or emotional disadvantages.

      October 19, 2004: This book is poorly written and full of generalizations. For example, not all older adopted children have been in multiple placements and 'a history of broken relationships.' The author tries to cover too much territory, i.e., international adoptions, 'special needs' adoptions, traditional vs open adoptions, etc., with the result being that none of her advice seems to address the issues and concerns of any of these groups. I am in the process of adopting an older child from Russia, and found very little of value in this book.
