Carrie's Adoption BlogAdoption Lifebooks Are a Wonderful Tool for Foster and Adoptive FamiliesOur foster son moved out in February. Before he left we made sure he had a lifebook. I can't say enough about the need for lifebooks for children who have been adopted or in foster care. Lifebooks are not just simple scrapbooks, they fill in the missing blanks of a child's history and can also offer honest answers to tough questions. This is exactly why I recommend Beth O'Malley's work. She can answer these questions without degrading a child's birth family or further traumatizing a child with the blunt truth. Learn how to explain a parent's drug usage or the abandonment in an orphanage with Beth O'Malley's wonderful tools. An adoptee and an adoptive parent, O'Malley has a definite passion for her work.
