Written on September 24, 2002 Summary: You Owe It to Yourself and Your Child Beth O'Malley understands adoption, both from her perspective as an adoptee and from her many years in working with adoptive families. Her experience, understanding and compassion shine through in this helpful, step-by-step guide. Beth walks with you through the process, and makes even the toughest questions seem easy to handle. Don't delay. You owe it to yourself and your child to get this book and start creating your child's lifebook. Written on May 26, 2002 Summary: Lifebook Inspiration Beth O'Malley's book is an inspiration to any family born through adoption. I never had a clear understanding of what a lifebook is until reading her book. I adopted my daughter from China in 1997 and had yet to write her lifebook. When I received the book, I read it in one sitting and immediately began to write the text for my daughter's lifebook! Finally! The information I sought was described and formatted in easy to follow directions. My daughter's lifebook is almost completed. I highly recommend this book to ALL families that have children born to their family through adoption. The lifebook story has made a significant impact on my daughter and brought up many opportunities for us to discuss birthparents and her feelings about her birthfamily. You won't be disappointed with this purchase! Written on May 23, 2002 Summary: Lifebooks Creating A Treasure For The Adopted Child As an adoptive parent and an adoption educator, I have looked at many, many books and other sources on the topic of "creating a lifebook." This book is by far the most enlightened, meaningful and relevant book out there. I have already bought several copies for my friends and for our homstudy agency. Most so called lifebooks focus on scrapbooking concepts. This is the only one I have found that talks about CONTENT. Not only what to write about, but WHY certain information needs to be included. It's really a "How-to on Lifebooks" AND a "Talking About Adoption" book rolled into one. The author has a a gift (and a unique and credible perspective) for synthesizing this critical and delicate topic into a clear and actionable tool for adoptive families. I have been putting off creating a lifebook for my two internationally adopted children for the last three years because the task seemed so daunting. After reading this book I was actually excited about getting started. Best of all I did it -and I urge any adoptive parent to buy this book!  Written on May 7, 2002 Summary: So Helpful! I'm a pretty devoted scrapbooker, but I just knew somehow that this "lifebook" thing was meant to be different from one of my regular scrapbooks. Beth O'Malley's book explained how and why it is different and provided excellent guidance on creating this very special gift for the adopted child. With the guidance of this book, I'm now working away at my daughter's lifebook. This book can guide you whether your adoption was international or domestic, an infant adoption or an older child, a child who was in foster care . . . Whatever the circumstances, Beth O'Malley has guidance and advice for how to handle it in the lifebook. If you are an adoptive parent, I urge you to get this book and get to work on this important part of preserving and transmitting your beloved child's story. Written on April 4, 2002 Summary: Couldn't be better Beth's book helped me tremendously. it was a great step by step way to create a personal life book for my daughter. The way it is organized allowed me to be creative, yet follow specific guidelines so that the entire process wasn't so ovewhelming. Beth is very creative and also very sensitive to many apoption issues. It is clear that she has alot of background in this field. Her book is the reason I finished this very important book for my daughter, after years of trying to do it and not getting very far. |
