A Foster Adoption Story: Angela and Michael’s Journey
A Therapeutic Workbook for Traumatized Children
By
I was delighted to come upon this workbook written especially for traumatized children. It is written in easy to understand language and deals with various issues some of which are separation, loyalty issues, siblings and adoption. Reading it and looking at the illustrations I knew that children would find it easier to share their feelings while going through this workbook.
It tells the story of a brother and sister from when they are with their birth family until they are finally adopted. One of its strengths is how it helps parents to understand the hearts particularly the fears of these children.
This hands-on resource will be helpful for professionals, clinicians and parents. Each page includes questions and a place where answers can be written down. The pictures can be colored as you discuss the experience with your child.
I highly recommend this book for all those working in the foster adoption experience.
It will be one you will want to work through slowly and carefully.
Thank you Regina Kupecky and Christine Mitchell.
This workbook sells for $6.95 at Amazon.com and CreateSpace.com
