Adopting a child from the care system may be more emotionally challenging than you anticipate.  This book will help you prepare in ways that will really make a difference.

  • I have written this book to help you anticipate, think and prepare for your adopted child in ways you never have before; and to be aware of how you really may feel after your child is placed. 
  • I explore the sensitive subject of the debilitating emotions some adopters feel following placement of their child, and offer strategies for how to tame these emotions and move through them to a more emotionally settled, resourceful and happier place.
  • I share adoption stories, experiences and wisdom from other adoptive families so that you can learn from their successes and failures.
  • I focus on helping your whole family not just the child you are adopting.   It is important for a successful adoption placement that your whole family unit thrives.
  • I offer practical advice and strategies to help your adopted child develop and achieve their full potential.

"By far one of the best all-around adoption books I have ever read. I can feel the real-life, in the trenches experience of the author come through with deep wisdom and understanding. If there were an adoption parenting road map for establishing love and relationship in a home this is it. Please read and reread. Books at this level of true applicability and parenting guidance are rare.”
