Binding: Loose LeafEAN: 9780970183231 Edition: 2nd ISBN: 0970183232 Label: Adoption Works Press Manufacturer: Adoption Works Press Number Of Pages: 30 Publication Date: June 22, 2008 Publisher: Adoption Works Press Studio: Adoption Works Press Editorial Review: Product Description: "What do my birth parents look like?" "Did I do something wrong?" "Why are so many Chinese girls put up for adoption?" Adoption expert, Beth O'Malley, provides you with an excellent tool that helps you answer these and other sometimes awkward questions. With fill-in-the blank questions, places for artwork, checklists and adoption homework; you and your child can work through the issues specific to being an adoptee from China. Convenient cardstock pages take you step-by-step through your child's history in China, explaining about his/her biological parents, the adoption process and more. When your child asks questions, it opens the door for communication. That's one of the most important benefits of this lifebook. Heavy-weight pages are punched for use in 3-ring binder. This gives you the freedom to personalize as needed. ( binder not included) Average Rating:
