   My husband and I are planning to adopt an elementary aged child through the foster care system. I purchased this book because it had excellent reviews with a wealth of information. I was quickly disappointed when most of the topics only refer to children adopted from other countries or orphanages. There was a wealth of information about this group, but not much about other groups. Furthermore, there is only one chapter pertaining to older child adoption. The best book i have read thus far is called “The Connected Child”. It’s an excellent book on parenting skills, building attachment, and issues related to discipline.

   This book contains a lot of useful information for someone who is adopting or considering doing so. I will use this information during the process and after my child comes home.

   This book has been very helpful. The more I read the more I appreciate all of its advice. There are things that I read that will be real helpful when our children are home. It is helping us prepare and hopefully, we will know where to turn for help.

   I also love the fact this is written by several people, not just one.
