adoption books
I have been looking for adoption books for some time now. All of them seem to be about adopting babies and toddlers. My husband and I are wanting to adopt children between ages 3 and 5. We have a 7 and 1 year old bio children. Does anyone know of any books relating to adopting preschool children, integrating adopting children into an existing family, etc.?
Thank you for your help.

www.tapestrybooks.com
This is a great place for adoption books/resources. I would recommend "Our Own" by Trish Maskew and "Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew" by Sherrie Eldridge, as well as "Parenting the Hurt Child" (can't remember the author). I have read all the above, and they are quite applicable to an older child adoption. I'm sure as you search that site you will also find others that catch your eye.
