Bliss! A lovely, quiet, nothing-to-do and nothing-on-the-calendar Sunday...Well, that's until bossy Aunt Susan - an unstoppable force - is on the phone insisting that Harry and his family come down to help her a local event she's promised to organise: the Great Toadpool Show.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Over 150,000 people adopt children each year, and more than 2 million parents are now raising adopted children and grandchildren. While the path to parenting through adoption is rich with rewards and fulfillment, it's not without its bumps. This compassionate, illuminating, and ultimately uplifting book is the first to openly recognize the very normal feelings of stress that adoptive families encounter as they cope with the challenges and expectations of their new families. Where do parents turn when the waited-for bonding with their adopted child is slow to form? When they find themselves grieving over the birth child they couldn't have? When the child they so eagerly welcomed into their home arrives with major, unexpected needs? Until now, adoptive parents have had to struggle silently with their feelings, which can range from flutters of anxiety to unbearable sadness. At last, Karen J. Foli, a registered nurse, and her husband, John R. Thompson, a psychiatrist, lift the curtain of secrecy from "Post Adoption Depression Syndrome" (PADS). Drawing on their own experience as adoptive parents as well as interviews with dozens of adoptive families and experts in the field, the couple offers parents the understanding, support, and concrete solutions they need to overcome post-adoption blues-and open their hearts to the joy adoption can bring.

Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
“Heartfelt, filled with humanity,” this novel about an open adoption gone wrong reveals “the different forms of family bonds . . . [A] joy to read.” —Elizabeth Strout, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Amy and Isabelle and Olive Kitteridge Sara is sixteen and pregnant. Her once-devoted boyfriend seems to have disappeared, so she decides her best and only option is an open adoption with George and Eva, a couple desperate for a child. After the birth it’s clear Sara has a bond with the child that Eva can’t seem to duplicate. When it seems that Sara cannot let go, Eva and George make a drastic decision, with devastating consequences for all of them. “Caroline Leavitt’s writing is so fluid, her characters so well realized, I found myself reading Girls In Trouble nearly until the sun came up. When I was finished I felt as though I had made a new friend, and had stayed up all night listening to her stories.” —Pam Houston, award-winning author of Cowboys are My Weakness “The characters in Girls in Trouble are blazingly knowable, and it is Leavitt’s sympathy that gives her novel both its page-turning momentum and its dignity.” —Washington Post “In this wrenching exploration of parent-child relationships, Leavitt captures the tensions and rhythms of family attachments. . . . Ripe for movie adaptation, this will appeal to fans of Jacqueline Mitchard’s novels.” —Booklist “An unflinching depiction of maternal need and the dynamics of adoption.” —Publishers Weekly “Utterly engrossing and richly satisfying.” —Margot Livesey, New York Times–bestselling author of The Boy in the Field
