I recently purchased and am currently reading Parenting Your Internationally Adopted Child - From Your First Hours Together Through the Teen Years, by Patty Cogen.
The book helps adoptive parents to understand their child's sometimes puzzling or difficult behaviors. The author offers simple strategies for addressing the issues that are commonly seen in infants, toddlers, and older children who have joined their families through adoption from other countries. The text is clearly written, well organized and best of all - offers useful, professional advice that any parent can easily follow.
A large portion of this book is available to preview on line at Books.Google.com.
I highly recommend this book! I think it is a must read for any parent of any child adopted from any country at any age.
