Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew by Sherrie Eldridge
3.0
This was a hard book to read. At this stage in the process (pre-adoption) I have no way of verifying how much of it is true overall; if the contents are largely representative, then adoption is an incredible scary thing for the adoptive parents because just the simple act of adopting a child has already caused damage, even in a newborn placed directly into a loving family.
That said, I'm glad to have read it. Much of what it covers really applies most to closed adoptions, and I hope that openness in adoption removes some of those obstacles and prevents some of the damage, but the rest gave good advice on questions adopted children/adults might have, how parents can respond and what parents can do to pre-empt difficulties.
