4.0 out of 5 stars How to Raise an Adopted Child
This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in adopting a child, has adopted a child or wants to understand the issues surrounding the adoption of children. It gives excellent examples of how to present information and how to address issues specific to adopted children. Also, breaks down the specific issues by age. Great compendium of information and a guide...

1.0 out of 5 stars this book was very untruthful
As a teenage adoptee, I feel that this book over emphasized the negative sides of adoption. Many of the issues presented in this book do exist, but in very few situations. The authors of this book make adoption and the effects after adoption sound very negative, while many adoptive children and families live very normal lives, just as families who share blood.
