Adoption. Green, simple living. Real life. Book review: ‘Related by Adoption’ by Hedi Argent. The premise A handbook for grandparents and other relatives. Quite a basic introduction to adoptive families from the grandparents’ perspective. My response A useful introductory book, but I thought it was probably insufficient for our parents. I expect they will be interested to read much more thoroughly and have questions this book doesn’t address. Unlike … Continue reading →. 8217; by Leonie Sturge-Moore.

Adoption. Green, simple living. Real life. Book review: ‘Simplicity Parenting’ by Kim John Payne with Lisa M Ross. This entry was posted on 10 March 2012, in adoption. And tagged adoptive family. What I found particularly useful. Some persuasive arguments on reducing ‘screen time’, especially for very young children; limiting the number of toys to reduce overwhelm, and not presenting children with more choice than they can handle. A general parenting book, with nothing specific to adoption, but still has...

Adoption. Green, simple living. Real life. The adoption profile meeting: making it real. This entry was posted on 30 March 2012, in adoption.
