I've discussed recently the challenges of adopting older children. There is no real road map for parenting, but adopting a child who has special needs or has been through traumatic experiences can be particularly difficult. There are books that can help navigate the process and give some guidance and hope. Every child should have the opportunity to live, learn, and grow with love. If you are planning to adopt or are already parenting a child who may have ongoing difficulties with feelings of abandonment, separation, or who has special needs, you may benefit from these books. I would love to hear from those of you who have experiences with reactive attachment disorder or issues relating to the feeling of abandonment related to being adopted. The more we know, the better we can parent these children.
