Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew by Sherrie Eldridge

4.0

As somebody interested in adoption, but not yet a parent, I felt this was very interesting and informational. It confirmed my beliefs, such as how you should NEVER keep the child's past from them. You should not try to smooth over racial or cultural differences if it's apparent your cultures are different. Don't teach them that their feelings aren't valid and celebrate them for who they are. I liked it brought up a variety of questions and answered with the experiences of many adoptees, the author being adopted as well.
