Disinterested,
By
This review is from: The Becoming a Man of the Spirit: Realistic Advice for Building a Healthy Adoptive Family (Paperback)
I bought this book while we were researching adoption as a way to grow our family. I was disappointed to realize it was very Christian based, and feel alienated while reading it as the faith parts don't align with my own beliefs.I would caution non-Christians from buying this book in favour of any of the other great adoption resources out there.

A great resource,
This review is from: Whole Life Adoption Book: Realistic Advice for Building a Healthy Adoptive Family Updated Edition (Paperback)
This title is clearly one of the better adoption resource books on the market. It contains a large amount of practical yet thoughtful advice and brings to the attention of adoptive (or potential adoptive) parent considerations that clearly are appropriate but that may not have been obvious before reading the book. The first section of the book clearly would benefit prospective adoptive parents as they work through a myriad of issues before and during the adoption process.

Helping Adoptive Parents See a Bigger Picture,
By aafc (Mesa, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whole Life Adoption Book: Realistic Advice for Building a Healthy Adoptive Family Updated Edition (Paperback)
I work with adoptive parents who are just getting their children (from the child welfare system). This book helps parents figure out what questions they need to be asking. It also is very instrumental in showing us what kinds of issues might come up 2, 5, 10 years from now for an adopted child. Just last night, i had another adoptive parent who is about to finalize their adoption rave about this book. Sometimes it is hard to see beyond a child's need today, but we must be prepared for tomorrow, and this book helps us to do that.
