Welcome Home!: An International and Nontraditional Adoption Reader
Welcome Home An International and Nontraditional Adoption Reader is an essential guide to the process, pros, and cons of adopting children from outside the United States, with special needs, and/or from a different racial/cultural background. The book documents every aspect of the adoption procedure--from working with "facilitators," adoption agencies, and attorneys to mixed reactions over a child's possible loss of heritage as the result of a transracial or multicultural adoption.

Great International adoption book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As a parent going thru the adoption process as a "Virgin", i found this book extremely helpful, and a great read. There are so many heartwarming stories about international adoption, told by the parents themselves, and also with the siblings perspective and the kids perspective as they got older. Not all stories are "love at first sight", but dealt with attachment issues and stories of abuse. I read them with tears , but it's just amazing what love and patience can do. I really enjoyed the book and I really learned a lot. I just feel like we are ready to deal with whatever comes our way with this baby, and I know God would not give us something we couldn't handle. GREAT book and very heartwarming, even the sad stories.
