5.0 out of 5 stars
Down-to-earth advice (at a great price!),
By elizabeth hunt (South Bend, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keys to Parenting an Adopted Child (Barron's Parenting Keys) (Paperback)
The bargain pricetag notwithstanding, this is one of the best parenting books I've ever read. It's concise but comprehensive, covering domestic and international adoption issues, special needs topics, open adoption, and a host of other important matters related to building happy, healthy adoptive families. I found the material on interracial and international adoption issues to be among the book's strongest features; the author offers great advice for sensitively answering kids' questions, straightforwardly dealing with nosy strangers, and maximizing the joy of being a multicultural family. An excellent resource.

Great information,
This review is from: Keys to Parenting an Adopted Child (Barron's Parenting Keys) (Paperback)
Discusses all sorts of issues on a high level. Great introduction to issues that may come up in adoption! And it isn't "scary." ;)

Must read if you are adopting or have an adopted family member,
This review is from: Keys to Parenting an Adopted Child (Barron's Parenting Keys) (Paperback)
My husband and I are preparing to adopt an infant and are reading all the "suggested reading" from our agency. I have not been impressed with any books on adoption until I got to this one. While most books offer first hand opinions based on one person's experience... this book offers tangible tools and advice for parenting an adopted child. Some of the most useful sections include:
- The most important predictors of a well adjusted adopted child - Studies about the impact of heredity versus environment on personality - The importance of your child's privacy and who needs to know what details on your child's adoptive status - Appropriate adoption language and terminology - What to expect at each developmental stage your child goes through - How to answer questions from the public regarding the adoption - And may more very useful parenting tips and tools. If you are adopting - you MUST read this book.
