It's here! It's here! My latest parenting book, The Everything Parent's Guide to Raising Your Adopted Child, is now available--check it out on Amazon or your local bookstore.

I spent a year reading the latest research into how adoption impacts our society and talking to hundreds of families around the country. I learned that while adoption is a loving, wonderful way to form a family, it brings unique challenges and requires dedication and effort beyond the average.

If you are contemplating adoption, you need Raising Your Adopted Child to help you sort out fact from fiction and emotion from reality. If you already have an adopted child, you need the book beside your bed or on your coffee table--somewhere you can refer to it quickly. It will be an essential tool for finding answers to your most difficult questions; the appendices of published and professional resources will provide in-depth discussion of your particular concerns.
