Publisher's Synopsis
We now have a much more sophisticated understanding of how early adverse experiences can echo through childhood and into adulthood - talking about their early life experiences can be part of the healing process for the adopted child. Drawing on experience and knowledge of many people who have been adopted and adopted parents, this book offers practical guidance on why telling your child is so important, what to tell your child and when, and the responsibilities you face if your child is of a different ethnicity, from a different country or has disabilities.
