Birthdays may be difficult for me.
I want you to take the initiative in opening conversations about my
birth family.
When I act out my fears in obnoxious ways, please hang in there
with me.
I am afraid you will abandon me.
The voices of adopted children are poignant, questioning. And they
tell a familiar story of loss, fear, and hope. This extraordinary
book, written by a woman who was adopted herself, gives voice to
children's unspoken concerns, and shows adoptive parents how to
free their kids from feelings of fear, abandonment, and shame.
With warmth and candor, Sherrie Eldridge reveals the twenty complex
emotional issues you must understand to nurture the child you
love--that he must grieve his loss now if he is to receive love
fully in the future--that she needs honest information about her
birth family no matter how painful the details may be--and that
although he may choose to search for his birth family, he will
always rely on you to be his parents.
Filled with powerful insights from children, parents, and experts
in the field, plus practical strategies and case histories that
will ring true for every adoptive family, Twenty Things Adopted
Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew is an invaluable guide to the
complex emotions that take up residence within the heart of the
adopted child--and within the adoptive home.
