Little has been written previously about adopting a child beyond infancy. Carney's book is a warm, down-to-earth, and at times humorous, account of an older child who grows up in her family. Her understanding and advice are based on the knowledge of deep involvement. As she draws attention to the dilemmas of the child who is meeting the many forced adjustments, she also recognizes the problems and feelings that are imposed on the parents.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Outdated, still helpful in some ways,
This review is from: No More Here and There: Adopting the Older Child (Paperback)
This is an outdated book detailing an older child domestic adoption. Written in the 70s, I was disappointed to find that nothing was mentioned of single parent adoptions (unheard of at the time), transracial, or international adoptions. For me (single) much of this book seemed condescending. Once I got beyond this, I found that I could still utilize some of the information (feelings of the child, adopting sibling groups, etc). Read it with the knowledge that much has changed (thankfully) since it was written.
