My Dog Eats Plant Pots: Adoption breakdown and its impact on one absolutely normal family
The dream of a family, the inability to create one, after the IVF has failed, led to adoption for this perfectly normal pair. Their lives and that of their faithful canine companion were turned upside down and inside out, when they got astride the rollercoaster of the adoption process. Successfully leaping all the hurdles, being assessed as suitable adopters, they found two children they thought they could care for, and protect, and finally become Mummy and Daddy. The story of two little people, two big people and one slightly eccentric dog. But the fairy tale became a nightmare. When proud people who just didn’t do failure, had to admit defeat, when they finally brought themselves to ask for the help that was promised, and it was not there. How the system is broken, how the blame game begins and then never stops. How those who should be at the centre are rarely put there. A very personal and frank account of adoption failure, disruption, breakdown. It is sad, it is horrid, it hurts. It is happening now, more often than you think, and it needs to be talked about. An important read for potential or existing adopters, or anyone involved with families during or after the adoption process, this challenging account of what can go wrong raises questions over the process of adoption, and more importantly adoption support.Read more

Navigating Foster Care and Adoption: A Comprehensive Guide to Fostering & Adopting Children: From Screening… to Placement… to Overcoming Obstacles and Building Loving Families
The requirements of the child being fostered as well as the life situation of the foster parent can both have a significant impact on the type of foster care that can be provided. Some children remain in foster care for only a few days or weeks at a time, whilst others may remain there for several months or even years at a time. Foster parents have the option of taking care of only one kid at a time, as well as taking care of numerous children at once, including siblings.Adoption may offer children who need a loving home with stability, security, and a feeling of belonging in their new family. Adopted children sometimes come from tough situations, such as households in which they were abused or neglected, and consequently, they may have suffered trauma or struggle with emotional challenges. These children may be given the love and support, as well as the secure and caring home environment that they need in order to recover and grow when they are adopted by loving families.
My desire to write an eBook about fostering and adoption is driven by a desire to share my experience and insights with others who may be considering fostering or adopting. My story can serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for others, providing practical advice and emotional support for those embarking on this challenging journey.

Reparenting the Child Who Hurts: A Guide to Healing Developmental Trauma and Attachments
Finally, a parenting book which demystifies the latest thinking on neurobiology, physiology and trauma and explains what the research means for the everyday life of parents of children who hurt.
As experts on adoption and fostering who are adoptive parents themselves, Caroline Archer and Christine Gordon explain how this knowledge can help parents to better understand and care for their child. They explain why conventional parenting techniques are often not helpful for the child who has experienced early trauma and explore why therapeutic reparenting is the only way to help repair the unhealthy neurobiological and behavioural patterns which affect the child’s development. They do not shy away from how difficult reparenting is, acknowledging how hard it can be to recognise our own fallibility as parents and to change our own parenting patterns. The authors also offer hard-won advice on a range of common parenting flashpoints – from defusing arguments and aggression to negotiating bedtimes and breaks in routine, and making sure that special occasions are remembered for all the right reasons.
Reparenting the Child Who Hurts is a humane, no-nonsense survival guide for any parent caring for a child with developmental trauma or attachment difficulties, and will also provide information and insights for social workers, teachers, counsellors and other professionals involved in supporting adoptive and foster families.

Secrets to a Successful Marriage: Every Muslim Couple’s Guide to a Long and Contended Married Life: 1
Marriage, at its best, is a source of peace, strength and security to the couple. It is from this foundation of love and mercy that children are brought into this world.

Supporting direct contact after adoption
A number of adopted children have direct contact with members of their birth family after adoption. But contact can be difficult to arrange and challenging for all those involved. This important research study outlines the first investigation of the government and council services established to support direct post-adoption contact.

Finally, the study sets out the implications for social work practice and what agencies can do to improve the contact experience. This study will be of particular interest to social workers and support workers in child and family teams, adoption and post-adoption support teams, legal professionals, child mental health professionals, adoption researchers and students.Read more

You can hear–your baby can hear–so what’s the deal? Every parent knows how frustrated babies become when they can’t make themselves clear to their families. But now, before they can talk, they can tell you what they mean–with signs!

Now, what parent doesn’t want that?
Carry this card deck anywhere and you can have a wide selection to choose from, along with stage-by-stage guidance so they’ll know which signs to teach first and which to add as they and their baby become progressively more skilled and comfortable with signing.
