A Foster-Adoption Story: Angela and Michael's Journey: A Therapeutic Workbook for Traumatized Children
A workbook that children will enjoy while they color and find children with a story similar to their own. Connections, separations, loyalty issues, siblings and adoption are all issues the children face. This book makes it easier to share feelings. --Joe Kroll, Executive Director, The North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC)A Foster-Adoption Story chronicles a journey of a brother and sister from the time when they were being abused and neglected in their birth family until they were finally adopted. This workbook will help parents and their foster/adoptive children take a candid look at the many facets of their lives as they move from place to place. It allows children to express their thoughts and feelings, and it will provide parents with insights into their children's lives. It will be a valuable tool for helping everyone look at and discuss difficult things. --Gregory C. Keck, PhD, Founder/Director of the Attachment and Bonding Center of Ohio, co-author of Adopting the Hurt Child, Parenting the Hurt Child, and author of Parenting Adopted AdolescentsThis much-needed resource for adoptive families clearly shows how a child perceives life after trauma and what healthy parents can provide. I think it should be required reading for potential parents.  --Sherri Eldridge, 20 Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Parents Knew and 20 Things Adoptive Parents Need to Succeed
