Over 100 contributors from across the globe have come together to weave a stunning tapestry of advice specifically for adoptive parents.  Parenting adopted children is parenting plus-there's an extra layer that adopted kids often have and understanding their perspective is key.  This book is a wealth of information for the family newly arrived home as well as the more experienced one.  It's a book you won't read all at once, but will come back to again and again as your child's understanding and awareness of who they are develops and your experience in parenting expands.
Adoption Parenting looks at the core issues all members of the adoption triad face, and how they affect parenting techniques that just might not be the right fit for adopted children.  Chapters include Getting Started, Claiming, Language, Food, Baggage, Discipline, Loss and Grief, Transitions, Siblings, Narratives, Learning, School, Race, Older Child Adoption, Challenges, Support, Therapy, and Journey.  We look hard at the joys and challenges of our rewarding role.... Adoption Parenting!
