In On It: What Adoptive Parents Would Like You To Know About Adoption. A Guide for Relatives and Friends
£6.30
In On It is the book for the grandparents and best friends, colleagues and neighbors, aunts and uncles, teachers and caregivers of contemporary adoptive families. It offers advice, information and insights into contemporary adoption — especially for readers who are not themselves adoptive parents. In On It explains the decision-making processes that lead parents to adopt, the adoption process itself, and the important roles of loss and grief in adoption. It offers suggestions for appropriate adoption language and talking about adoption; overviews of transracial, open and older child adoption; guidance for readers who will find themselves representing and speaking on behalf of adoptive families; as well as illustrative anecdotes, suggestions from adoptive parents, and lists of “Ways You Can Help.” In On It extends an invitation into adoption–it is a friendly, welcoming and highly useful adoption resource.

Unfortunately alot of information is aimed at USA adoptions not rlevant in this country. I have since bought a book from Adoption UK direct only £3.99 written by a child which is perfect for family members. This book is very long winded and not ideal. Only shared it with one friend who i know loves reading!
