The Family of Adoption

A family and adoption therapist explains the often predictable and understandable development stages and challenges she has found to be common for all adopted people. She sets them out by age level, with illustrative examples, exploring such aspects as daydreaming being a normal strategy, how particular academic subjects can be painful, and why so many adoptees experiment with The Wrong Crowd. She also discusses her own experience as an adult adoptee. No index or bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
