Before we adopted Mary Elizabeth, I read everything
I could get my hands on about adoption.
I thought I had pretty much read them all.
I was wrong.
This book has accounts and case studies from families
who have adopted internationally.
It also has chapters on preparing yourself physically and
psychologically for your baby's homecoming and parenting
methods that promote attachment.
A whole section on so-called "Common Parenting Wisdom" de-bunked i.e.
*let your child sleep alone
*let your child cry
*closely monitor milestones
The author states that these are not rules for a child trying to attach.
I am in love with this book.
Thank you, Lark Eshleman.
Check it out.
Peace.
