Book Reviews of The Connected Child: Bring hope and healing to your adoptive family

Book Review: Understanding Opposition, Defiance and Disrespect
Summary: 5 Stars

Thirty years of experience as a foster/adoptive parent and adoption professional have required constant search for resources that will help us understand our children's opposition, defiance and disrespect. The title of this book "The Connected Child: Bring hope and healing to your adoptive family", says it like it is. It can bring hope and provide a path for healing. There have been times when I, even after all my years experience with ten adopted children, have lost hope for our youngest child. The Connected Child has restored that hope.
