Best-Seller Since 1999! Required Reading by Many Adoption Agencies
- Why your happy child runs a 102 fever on her birthday
- Why adoptees resist talking about adoption with parents
- How to Gain Entrance into the child's world/not gain entrance
Because each adopted child is unique, the reader is cautioned not to take the title literally. It is mainly a springboard for parents to become proactive in recognizing their children's unspoken needs and thus become their child's #1 cheerleader in life.
Filled with powerful insights from children, parents, and experts in the field, plus practical strategies and case histories that will ring true for every adoptive family, Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew is an invaluable guide to the complex emotions that take up residence within the heart of the adopted child--and within the adoptive home.
