We have done a great deal of reading and praying about adoption, and my thought about these reactions are certainly not exhaustive! We have found a few books particularly helpful:
- Adoption: Choosing It, Living It, Loving It by Dr. Ray Guarendi
- Adopting the Hurt Child by Gregory Keck and Regina Kupecky
- Parenting the Hurt Child by Gregory Keck and Regina Kupecky
- Attaching in Adoption by Deborah Gray (reading these now)
- Nurturing Adoptions by Deborah Gray
These websites have also been particularly helpful:
- www.adoptuskids.org
- www.adoptflorida.org
- http://www.focusonthefamily.com/socialissues/marriage-and-family/adoption.aspx
- http://www.icareaboutorphans.org/
Last, we have read numerous adoption stories on blogs. A blog search can help you find lots of these, and some are in my blogroll in the sidebar. It has been very encouraging to see other families successfully welcome older children into their families.
