Not to educate a family open to adoption
We were looking for a concise book to cover the basics our family should learn as they supported us through the adoption process. Our family was excited about the adoption, and this book would have been SO INSULTING to give to them. Thank goodness I borrowed it from the library before I bought copies for the family.
This book assumes that families of adoptive parents are actively unenthusiastic about children joining their family through adoption and talks down to them, telling them to "get with the program".
We wanted a resource to educate about adoption and bonding without subjecting our families to more information than they needed to read. We never did find what we were looking for, and ended up trying to summarize all we've learned.

The BEST adoption book ever
This was the best book to help explain to our family and friends what we are going through. I cried as I read the book because it was so on target with the way we felt. We would HIGHLY recomend this book for families of people who are adopting, I wanted to buy 5000 copies and pass them out on the street!!

Adoption Is a Family Affair! What Relatives and Friend Must
I think it is a wonderful resource for those starting the adoption process. It brings up many issues that you wouldn't have thought of. Highly recommended for anyone adopting and any family members.
