A Foster-Adoption Story tells the story of a brother and sister
experiencing abuse, neglect, multiple foster care moves, sibling
separation, and eventually adoption. The goal of this workbook is
to open the door to discuss difficult topics; issues like abuse,
neglect, birth parents, and loyalty conflicts. It can be used as an
aid in helping children heal; one that allows them to read about
"kids like me." Youngsters can color the pictures as they wish and
share their feelings as they go along. This workbook will be a
useful therapeutic tool to help children process their experiences
and grief along the path to healing.
Family Day: Celebrating Ethan's Adoption Anniversary As 5-year-old
Ethan and his family commemorate the first anniversary of his
adoption, they reminisce about the joy and excitement of that
special event. As the day progresses they pause to think about
Ethan's birth family and to look through his Lifebook. Along the
way, Ethan's curiosity leads to discussions which help him conclude
that adoption is a wonderful way to build families. Praise for
Family Day Family Day: Celebrating Ethan's Adoption Anniversary is
a heartwarming and important addition to the fairly thin catalogue
of literature for and about children and families experiencing
foster care adoption. Ethan's joyful, yet curious approach to his
special day brilliantly captures the feelings of foster care
children wanting to be a part of an adopted family while also
grieving the loss of their birth family. Ms. Mitchell's book
provides a welcome support for children and adults alike, and
should be in the hands of every family created or expanded through
foster care adoption. Rita Soronen Executive Director Dave Thomas
Foundation for Adoption Family Day will open windows of
communication for families who have adopted. The book explains why
families might be motivated to adopt, how the process occurs, and
the varied feelings associated with adoption. Some adopted children
don't have the opportunity to interact with other adoptive
families. This book will help to normalize adoption and its
resulting permanent family relationships. Betsy Keefer, co-author

Finally..a book that genuinely celebrates a young child joining
their forever family past infancy. With its touching message of
love and reassurance, and whimsical illustrations, Welcome Home,
Forever Child is sure to be cherished by children and parents
alike. While best suited to children ages two to eight, this gem
will undoubtedly be enjoyed by older children as well. Most
children's adoption books reflect infant adoptions, and may not be
appropriate for the older child who spent their early years in
foster care or an orphanage. Welcome Home, Forever Child is a much
needed book that social workers and therapists will want to
recommend to families who adopted their child past the age of two.
The book helps parents reassure children of their permanent place
in the new family, and of how much they are wanted and loved. It
will also make a very special and meaningful keepsake gift for a
child upon joining his or her new family, upon finalizing the
adoption, or upon the anniversary of either event. READ WHAT TOP
