About the Book

It is a story that moves us to tears. An American couple travels across the world to rescue a child from the hopelessness of a foreign orphanage, bringing their new son or daughter to a life of love and family. This work asks whether this transition always goes smoothly. In countries where international adoptions are common - China, Russia, or Romania - orphanages commonly represent the available children 6to their new parents as healthy kids who just need a little love. In many cases, this is a gross misrepresentation. Children who spend time in institutionalized care may have experienced trauma, and therefore may not attach easily to their new family. Parents anxious to bring these children into their hearts struggle seriously with this issue. This work provides parents with effective strategies for ensuring that their adopted child adjusts as quickly as possible. It helps parents identify severe problems before the adoption, significan5tly reduce the risk of future difficulty, and improve the damage already done to the child's otherwise normal, healthy development.

About the Author :
Lark Eshleman, Ph.D., is the founder and director of the Institute for Children and Families. A psychotherapist, Dr. Eshleman has trained orphanage workers in Croatia to work with children before they are adopted. A frequent speaker and writer on emotional trauma, she lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Review :
It discusses the characterisitics of normal parent-child attachment and explains what can happen if the attachement is interrupted. Practical steps a parent can take to alleviate a child's attachment problems are also highlighted and different types of therapy that may be helpful for the child are discussed.--Tracy Behringer, Tracy Behringer "West Chester Local News " Practical steps a parent can take to alleviate a child's attachment problems are also highlighted, and types of therapy that may be helpful for the child are discussed.--Tracy Behringer, Tracy Behringer "Pottstown Mercury " That some older adoptive children didn't know how to trust can be the source of misunderstanding, fustration, anger, and pain for many of the parents who adopt them. The sooner the parents understand and respond to the source of the distrust rather than take it personally, the sooner they will be a family in spirit as well as words.--Barbara F. Meltz "The Boston Globe "
