Adoption Book Review: Lifebooks: Creating a Treasure for the Adopted Child

My children's therapist allowed me to borrow this great book. She was encouraging me to make each of them a lifebook as a way of helping the boys deal with their past. I didn't know where to begin or how to word their past abuse and neglect. I wanted them to know the truth but, I didn't want anything to be too sugar coated or too harsh. This book helped me to put together three wonderful lifebooks for my children. I am really happy with the lifebooks I've made and owe it to this wonderful guide.
