Hello,

Thanks very much to everyone who posts on here, I'm learning so much about adoption from you all 😊

I was just wondering if anyone can advise some good books for me and my DH for us to continue our learning about adoption and adoptive children 🙂

Thanks in advance 😊

Me the boy and the monster
The boy who was raised as a dog
Therapeutic parenting in a nutshell
The A-Z of therapeutic parenting
The whole brain child
The book you wish your parents had read

These are the books I've read so far that I've found very useful as research while we wait for a match

I really like Suzanne Zeedyk Sabre Tooth Tigers and Teddy Bears, not about adoption per se but a good easy understanding of attachment and emotional regulation.

Timpsons the shoe people do some free books on foster care but they cover the same subjects.

We got one last week "A Guide to Attachment" Its short and to the point but useful especially if you want something to give your own support group to read. Just go in and ask next time you pass a shop.
