A MUST READ in Older Child Adoption!, January 5, 2012
By

This book is a MUST READ for anyone
considering older child adoption, those who are in the process, and those who
have already brought their children home. As a mother of 6, two of whom were
adopted internationally at ages 16 and 7, I found this book to be full of
wisdom and encouragement.
What makes this book different from the more
"clinical" adoption books is that it is written by a mother who is still in the
trenches. The real life examples make it easy to relate the book to what is
happening in your home. Jodi's honesty about those things she wished she had
done differently leaves room for me to feel like I am not the only adoptive mom
who isn't perfect! I find that very encouraging.
Even though our oldest
son came home over two years ago and our newest addition has been home 7
months, this book is still very applicable. I found a lot of information to
help me better understand my adopted teen, in particular.
