looking for informative adoption education website
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good website out there that educates on the terminology and what's respectful language to use regarding adoption? My family doesn't always think before they speak (but are well-intentioned), and I wanted to give them some info to read before we bring our son home and have any uncomfortable situations. I've heard of some good books, but I've got one sister and my husband has 12 siblings, in addition to grandparents. So I can't afford to buy a book for them all.... Any ideas are appreciated! thanks!

My family is very supportive, but they don't always use the correct terms and they don't know exactly what to expect. Can anyone recommend any books for parents to read. I would love something that deals with grandparents, but anything that describes our journey would be great. We talk about it ALL the time, but they have expressed interest in books. Does anyone have any suggesstions? Thanks for your help!
