More ideas

Let's just say Barnes and Noble loves me these days!!! My favorite so far is Adoption Parenting Creating a toolbox, building connections by Jean MacLeod and Sheena Macrae, both the Deborah Gray books are great but a little more technical, Raising Adopted Children by Lois Melina was required reading by our agency. Becoming a Family by Lark Eshleman was good too.

Perhaps the greatest resource we have had is contact with another family from our agency that has adopted older children from the same hogar our girls are at. This other family have become dear friends who have lived this experience and are willing to share their experiences with us. Ask your agency if they have anyone who would be willing to talk to you and share experiences. It has been better than any book I could have read! Renee
