Great idea! I would love a book like that. There is so much that our daughter, adopted at age 4, needed to learn upon coming home. We had attachment struggles, language struggles, learning how to live in a family, she didn't even know how to use toilet paper! We did regression and attachment work...gave her a bottle, rocking, feeding, baby games, co-sleeping, etc. Maybe you could include how a new child needs to be babied when they come home to make up for any babying they missed earlier and to give their new family a chance to baby them too? Just an idea.
Also, how they need to come to Mama and Papa for help with things instead of doing things themselves and for comfort too when they get hurt or have hurt feelings. That is another thing many adopted kids need to learn and understand.
Good luck and keep us posted about it.
