2/10/09 Resources for older children
Category None
Bookmark :
During the month of January, we had one family travel to Colombia to receive an older child.
ICBF and Bethany are committed to providing the best families for children. Families desiring to adopt an older child or children need to be very prepared to adopt an older child through reading, trainings, exploring outside resources, attending support groups, knowing or learning some Spanish, connecting with other adoptive families. There are many resources in the local communities, your local Bethany office, or through Bethany's website of resources. A couple of books to consider are:
Risk and Promise: a handbook for parents adopting a child from overseas by Chasnoff, Schwartz, Pratt, Neuberger
Parenting the Hurt Child by Keck and Kupecky
Our Own: Adopting and Parenting the Hurt Child by Trish Maskew
We would love families to give suggestions of other books or resources that have been helpful to them. This can include resources particular to Colombia culture or older child adoptions.
