Sommario/riassunto

Adoptive parents can be bewildered or apprehensive and find themselves struggling in ways they hadn't anticipated. Marion Crook gently takes adoptive parents through the process of adoption from childhood to adulthood, helping to demystify the experience with compassion and reassurance. Meticulously researched but refreshingly free of academic jargon, this book will enlighten and empower adoptive parents and those who work with adopted children alike.
