Written by clinical psychologists in a straightforward style, this is an comprehensive introduction to the process of adoption and the ways children (and parents) might feel during, after, and about their adoption. It addresses adoption of both infants and older children, reassuring older children that feelings of confusion, anger, and unease are okay and that it will take time to adjust to a new family. This is an excellent resource for an older child who is being adopted, a child who is beginning to question their adoption, or the friends, family, and classmates of adopted children.
