The mural on our child's wall is nearly finished and we have been working on other home-improvement projects (a new kitchen floor and countertops) which will make our home more ready for the arrival of our son or daughter. This week we ordered several books about adoption parenting in an effort to prepare our minds and hearts more fully for the new roles we will have once we become a family. It is time to learn as much as we can so that we will be the kind of parents God wants us to be to our precious child. Our agency, America World, recommended many books including the ones we have begun to digest.
Raising Adopted Children: Practical, Reassuing advice for Every Adoptive Parent by Lois Ruskai Melina (Revised Edition)
The Whole Life Adoption Book: Realistic Advice for Building a Healthy Adoptive Family by Jayne E. Schooler
Creating a Treasure for the Adopted Child by Beth O'Malley
