From understanding what adoption is, through to step by step guidance on the entire process and the challenges that come up along the way, this is the only book you will need to read on adoption. Written by an author who was adopted herself, who has looked after over twenty children and who works with a fostering and adoption agency that deals specifically with breakdowns, this book will teach you how to confidently navigate the system and build a strong and lasting relationship with your child. Whilst very much being the unvarnished truth, this is an empowering guide that will ensure you feel in control and know where to turn to for help no matter what: With a positive attitude and the right tools, adopting a child can be very rewarding - don't try to overthink it, don't try to love, just do right by them and as you learn about each other the love, kindness and acceptance will grow.
This book was inspired by a fellow teacher, Kate, and her husband, John, as they went through this process to adopt their son, Ethan. During our lunchtime, we discussed when and how to tell a child that they are adopted, and this book seemed to be a gentle and natural way of telling the story of one family on their special quest. The book also shows how one little life can complete a family. I wish everyone on the path toward adoption or living as an adopted child love, strength, and compassion toward everyone concerned.
