Thanks Lucyjoy! I just requested the book you suggested from the library. We've been talking about adoption for several years and I've been reading up on it quite a bit in spurts over this time. My husband is an elementary teacher. I work with the parents of low income, at risk children aged birth - five as well as their childcare providers (mentoring, training, resource referrel). I have a BA in psychology and am almost finished with a masters in child development. So I will like we have a pretty solid foundation.
BUT I know that neither book/acedemic knowledge nor training teachers/parents and demonstrating positive discipline with children I get to leave comes any where near to what it's like living it every minute of the day with your own child.
We have our first home study meeting sceduled for Monday! We're excited to be moving along with this journey.
