Book Reviews of Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today's Parents
Book Review: Outstanding-- again and again and agian
Summary: 5 Stars
As the mother of two children adopted from Eastern Europe, and having read stacks and stacks of books on adoption and parenting children with attachment disorder, I can honestly say this one was the most helpful. My children were both 2 at adoption and are now both 11. We have weathered suicide attempts and many other serious mental and emotional problems, including a long-term psychiatric hospitalization, and still, when I have a question about my children's attachment development and what I can do to help, this is the book to which I turn. I only wish every teacher and professional that works with my children could/would also read this book. Book Review: Too Clinical
Summary: 2 Stars
You can tell this book is written by a professional therapist. I was looking for some straight-forward, basic help. This book did not do the trick. By the time you filter through her theraputic "mumble-jumble", you are only left with s thimble full of helpful advise. It was not worth my time or money. Back to the drawing board!Book Review: Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today's Parents

I just wish I had had this book 2 years ago when I started as a foster parent. Yes it is mostly for adoption but I think it would have helped me tremdously.Book Review: Very Helpful and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a gift after we adopted two toddlers from Russia. It helped to understand how attachment happens and to understand the stages. This book helped our family attachment struggles take a turn for the better. 2 1/2 years later the boys are wonderfully attached. This book wasn't the only tool used but was critical to first understanding how attachment works.Book Review: Good for Adoptive parents
Summary: 4 Stars
This book will give you insights into the areas we do not normaly think about in adoption. A good hepling hand.
