Our Own : Adopting and Parenting the Older Child
Trish Maskew / Hardcover / Published
1999
Based on the author's experiences as an adoptive mother and foster parent, as well as interviews with numerous adoptive families, adoption professionals and adults who were adopted, Our Own thoroughly explores both the joys and the challenges of older child adoption. Suitable for families adopting domestically or internationally, it covers such topics as:
-
Evaluating whether you have what it takes to adopt a child who's no longer a baby.
- Choosing an agency and finding a child to adopt.
From Cherie Clark, International Mission of Hope:
"I think this is a must for families adopting an older child. There is so much information that I was astounded that it had been assembled and put together in such a readable and informative format...What a gift."
