Adoption; Advice on parenting

A warm and sensitive guide offering parents the tools they need to decide if they're ready to adopt, from leading psychiatrist Dr Ian Palmer

As would-be parents cycle through the adoption process, they balance anxiety and fear with the life-altering decision of adoption. The emotional toll of this dance can be completely overwhelming and can confuse parents while navigating the decisions of how to expand their families.

Drawing on extensive research and the author's own experience of being adopted, What to Expect When You're Adopting... does not gloss over the realities of the adoption process, but rather leads parents through the many stages and emotional aspects involved and offer practical and sensitive advice allowing you to- - Make crucial decisions with confidence - Build a strong foundation for your family - Separate the myths about adopted children from the realities

- Discover the key to healthy attachment with your child

Dr Ian Palmer will also deal with the issues of single-parent adoption, infertility and, unusually, the option of remaining childless.
