Talking With Young Children About Adoption

Summary: Info is excellent....type set is terrible
Review: To some it might seem trivial but the typeface and font used in this book make it tedious to read. It is well worth reading but I put it off when something else was available because I could only read a few pages before my eyes hurt. I think the font is a 7 when it needed to be at least a 10. Perhaps they used such small typeface to keep the book smaller and therefore easier to read? If so they missed the mark.

Summary: good for anyone adopting
Review: Well, I had gotten through almost half of the book and was about to stop reading it when it started to get better. The first half was a bunch of detailed psychological text book information that, for the most part, I did not agree with or care about- not much fact- just opinions. The second part did save it giving detailed examples and stories of real people and their adopted children: how to communicate to the children, how children communicate about their adoption, feelings of adoptees and adoptive parents, what children might be concerned about at different ages, etc. I would definitely say that it is a good book to refer to when communicating to young children.
