This book is full of the techniques that we have used successfully over the years. Many we have adapted to suit their needs and many we have made up ourselves. What we have become particularly good at is not giving up!A mother of two adopted children, Celia Foster has written "Big Steps for Little People" as a personal 'insider's guide' to parenting adopted children.Drawing on the hard-won wisdom gained in her own family life, Celia offers a thoughtful account of life with adopted children and examines the issues that many adoptive families encounter, including the development of children with attachment problems and how to tackle behavioural difficulties. She combines real-life anecdotes with suggestions and strategies that other parents can put to use.This book will be a great comfort and help to all adoptive families and offers insights for the professionals who work with them.

This review is from: Big Steps For Little People: Parenting Your Adopted Child (Kindle Edition)

I really enjoyed this book because I have done so much reading on adoption and the problems that can arise. This family adopted and kept on going. They experienced so many different adventures, so many different ways to adopt/foster children. Sometimes enough is not enough and we realize that more is not too much. It's a great read.
