Parents who are convinced that only their child has ever behaved a certain way are sure to take comfort in these stories; not only do they include kids from all backgrounds and age groups, but each has an ultimately happy ending. The emotional health of the whole family is also paramount according to the book--with plenty of rest and "alone time," caregivers are more likely to be emotionally available when they are most needed. <p> Because <I>Attaching in Adoption</I> focuses on special needs, families who are coming together through foster programs, at later ages, or across cultural lines will find it especially helpful. Both psychologically detailed and straightforwardly helpful, it can be of equal benefit to counselors and parents alike. <I>--Jill Lightner</I> 309304 5 2002 Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today's Parents total:76|5:32|4:29|3:12|2:3|1:0| 76 318 119 19 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 07:58:44 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 08:36:20 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 17 11:14:29 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 11:17:28 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Jan 21 06:21:24 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 06:22:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 11 21:44:10 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 21:44:55 -0800 2009 ]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 28 14:46:37 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 14:47:58 -0800 2008 2 5 0 false false Wed Sep 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 08:39:39 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 17 08:47:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 15 11:47:07 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 11:48:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 19:38:02 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 19:38:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 25 14:51:58 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 14:53:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Sun Jul 29 18:45:09 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 21 18:16:38 -0700 2008 2
