Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Adopted persons face challenges their entire lives as they struggle to answer the most basic question: Who am I? The hope of open adoption is that adopted children will develop stronger identities if they have the opportunity to develop healthy ongoing relationships with their families of origin. Making Room in Our Hearts offers an intimate look at how these relationships evolve over time, with real-life stories from families who have experienced open adoption first-hand. This book helps both adoptive and birth parents address their fears and concerns, while offering them the support to put the child’s psychological and spiritual needs at the center of adoption. Based on interviews with more than one hundred adopted children, birth and adoptive parents, extended families, professionals and experts, the book is an effective and invaluable resource for those considering open adoption, those experiencing it, and professionals in the field. Openness has altered the landscape of adoption, and Making Room in Our Hearts will help us catch up to the reality that is open adoption today.

Although this is exactly what goes through the minds of many would-be cat adopters, picking out your new best friend can be a little more complicated. I mean, if you get a kitten, you’re looking at a 15-20 year commitment. I once had one of my cats live to be 27! And what happens if they don’t like your other pets? Or your kids? Even worse, what if they stop using their litter box? And how often do cats even need to go to the vet, anyway? Even for impulsive people like myself, you have to at least put a little bit of thought into it. That’s where this book comes in. It’s a comprehensive guide to all things cat adoption.

Book Description
Sherry and Lee are the experts in the area of single parent adoption. They have studied the issue intensely, listened to both adoptees and parents, and most importantly they have lived it. This is an important book for all those impacted by single parent adoption. --Betsy Burch, Founder & Former Dir. of S.P.A.C.E. (Single Parent Adoption of Children Everywhere) "Whether you are a single parent who has adopted or is contemplating adopting, Single Adoptive Parents: Our Stories, is a wonderful resource. Single parents, in their own words, discuss their decision to adopt, and share the joys and the challenges of parenting." --Jane Mattes, LCSW. Director, Single Mothers by Choice "Single Adoptive Parents: Our Stories, is compelling and insightful. It fills a niche and a need for the people whom the title describes (as well as anyone connected to them), to be sure, but I also recommend this important book to anyone who cares about family issues - or simply wants to better understand the changing world around them." --Adam Pertman, Executive Director, Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute "Lee Varon and Sherry Fine have been helping the world of adoption for years with their books and videotapes about the joys and challenges of single parenthood in adoption. "Most of the two-parent families that we see have enough challenges and require a repertoire of skills in order to parent children who have suffered loss, trauma and neglect, but for a single parent the need for multitasking and a strong support network is even more of a requirement. "Sherry and Lee are part of that support network, and I rarely see a single parent adoptive family that I don't recommend their books and tapes to! This newest book is another major resource." --Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao, CEO and Founder, Center For Family Connections
