Product Description
If you have just adopted a child, you need special advice. In an encouraging tone, this book offers that advice as it guides parents through the practical considerations of raising an adopted child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down-to-earth advice (at a great price!), August 30, 2000
By elizabeth hunt (South Bend, IN USA) - See all my reviews
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.

Discusses all sorts of issues on a high level. Great introduction to issues that may come up in adoption! And it isn't "scary." ;)
