I am reading:
Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew
By: Sherrie Eldridge

I am not even half way through it yet and can already tell how invaluable it is going to be. I would recommend it to anyone who is adopting or has adopted or even a close family member to read.

The voices of adopted children are poignant. Questioning. And they tell a familiar story of loss, fear, and hope. This extraordinary book, written by a woman who was adopted herself, gives voice to children's unspoken concerns. and shows adoptive parents how to free their kids from feelings of fear, abandonment, and shame. With warmth and candor, Sherrie Eldridge reveals the twenty complex emotional issues you must understand to nurture the child you love...that he must grieve his loss now if he is to receive love fully in the future...that she needs honest information about her birth family no matter how painful the details may be...and that although he may choose to search for his birth family, he will always rely on you to be his parents.

Does anyone have any books they would like to share?
