Book Reviews of Adopting a Toddler: What Size Shoes Does She Wear?
Book Review: Describes and explains needs as you adopt a toddler
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book!!! Not only is it detailed in its knowledge re: adopting a toddler versus a newborn, but it has excellent general adoption info which I found focused more on int'l adoption as more toddlers are adopted out of the country... which was nice as we are adopting internationally.
Honestly, I had not even thought about the contrast in adopting a toddler versus a newborn, and this book was wonderful in its enlightenment as your toddler (aged 1-3) will have had more time being alive therefore will have more memories of his/her life, care, and customs. This book discusses what to do about changing his/her name (or if you should), buying the toddler wardrobe, should you learn the language, toddler safety, appropriate toys (and his/her reaction to them), mealtimes, potty-training, the pediatrician, other care-givers (and how your toddler may react), packing for your trip, how to "act" while you are in another country (appropriate dress, gifts for the caregivers, souveniers, etc.) and your arrival home and the adjustments that will take place.
I have to admit that there were some chapters that I skipped over because already having bio children, we already knew about child safety, carseats, strollers, and some of the "normal" toddler behaviors, etc. But for someone for whom this will be their first child, it is definitely worth the time.
