Till There
Was You - An Adoption Expectancy Journal by Rebecca L. Gold,
Pamela M. Sardinha (Photographer) An adoption "pregnancy" is
not obvious to everyone. It is often without a due date. It
is a pregnancy of the heart and soul, not of the womb, which
makes it unique and special and not something that should be
overlooked nor undermined. It is my hope that this book will
inspire you to create your own journal of exploration throughout
your "pregnancy" to share one day with the child that grew in
your heart. |

Talking
With Young Children About Adoption

Talking
With Young Children About Adoption by Mary Watkins, Susan Fisher
Current wisdom holds that adoptive parents should talk with
their child about adoption as early as possible. But no guidelines
exist to prepare parents for the various ways their children
might respond when these conversations take place. In this wise
and sympathetic book, a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist,
both adoptive mothers, discuss how young children make sense
of the fact that they are adopted, how it might appear in their
play, and what worries they and their parents may have. Accounts
by twenty adoptive parents of conversations about adoption with
their children, from ages two to ten, graphically convey what
the process of sharing about adoption is like. |
