Well I've run out. I was looking for something to put on the kindle but I'm having trouble finding a good adoption book.

I have only read-- Attaching in Adoption and The Connected Child

What else would you guys recommend?

I srarted a thread and got some great responses but i cant link from here! A great book is three simple words but i dont think they have an ebook version.

I'm going to look into this. It looks like it might be good for toddler adoption and we don't know if we will have a toddler or school age child so it might be worth the read. Thanks!

The Connected Child was the best of all the adoption training and/or reading I have done so far! Really worth the read if you can find it.

I'm going to look for your other post.

Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria is really a must read about racial identity development starting from toddlers through teens and adults and I would highly recommend it since you are doing a trans-racial adoption. It's sooo good.
