 Written on April 10, 2003 Summary: Useful info, holier-than-thou tone Despite the fact that Melina makes the comment, "in many respects being an adoptive parent is no different from being a biological parent," it seemed to me from the tone of the book that she doesn't believe that statement at all. While she criticizes biological parents for "minimizing" the differences between raising bio children and adopted ones, she does a 180 and interprets almost every single child-raising issue (many of which seem quite universal) as uniquely adoptive child-related (which is just as bad). While there's a lot of useful information in this book, especially the ideas about creating meaningful scrapbooks/lifebooks for children, I found the "it's an adoption thing" tone very grating after a while. If parents of adopted children "adopt" her tone, they're very likely to alienate everyone around them. Written on February 23, 2003 Summary: Adopt This Book My wife and I both enjoyed this book. I understand it is required reading for some Adoption Agencies. We completed an international adoption in 2002, so all the parts of the book did not pertain to us. Most of the book gives good information on adoption in general, and more specific information on open adoption and international adoption. Recommended reading. Written on September 7, 2002 Summary: Excellent Book! This book was part of our required reading for our home study. After reading some of the poor reviews I wasn't looking forward to reading it. Once I started reading it I couldn't believe how much information was is in this book. This book can certainly help you decide which adoption route is for you. It explains the adopted child's emotions from infant to teen and how to handle them. It explains the different issues you may be faced with in domestic, international, infant, older child, inter-racial, and special needs adoptions. Helpful hints regarding how different countries may cared for your child which may explain why what you're doing isn't working. How long it may take for an infant to adjust to your time zone. It even tells you how to respond to those rude or nosy questions/comments from your friends, family, co-workers,and strangers! This is a great book to read no matter where you are in the adoption process from just thinking about it to completed it!  Written on January 4, 2002 Summary: A Must Have My husband and I bought this book in the midst of our homestudy when we were in the process of adopting. This book really hit on a lot of the issues we were dealing with. In fact,I marked what I felt pertained to our situation, and use it as a reference guide a year later! Written on January 25, 2001 Summary: Great Book I am currently in the process of adpoting a child from Korea and this was one of the best books I read -- it is definitely on my "top 5 books for adoptive parents." |
