Redesigned AF Bookstore:
Whether you’re looking for a how-to guide, a memoir, or a
great book for your multiracial kids, you’ll find it at the
Adoptive Families bookstore. The redesigned site is easier
to use than ever. You can browse the virtual shelves by title or
author—and now you can search by subject. For each book, you’ll
find an in-depth review from our team of experts and parents.
Log on to www.adoptivefamilies.com/books
for:
- A home page and main category pages highlighting our newest
additions and bestsellers.
- Easy-to-navigate pages that break down our collection by
author, title, and subject (kids books, discipline, attachment,
transracial families, and more).
- A range of books recommended by the editors of Adoptive
Families, with authoritative reviews written by adoption experts
and parents.
Adoption and Travel: Whether you're heading to
a nearby city, another state, or a foreign country, travel is a
fact of life for every adoptive family. But the usual travel advice—about
packing lists, tourist attractions, and luxury hotels—isn't
enough for adoptive parents. And that's why we've put together a
new Adoption and Travel web page: www.adoptivefamilies.com/travel.
Visit for articles and information about
- Fostering your child abroad
- Medical needs for adoption trips
- Making memories
- Introducing a child to her birthplace…and lots more!
Tell Your Story: Every adoption is a unique story,
and sharing yours could be a wonderful way to record your child's
history and spread the word about this great way to make a family.
There are many ways to tell your story. You can write a novel, an
essay, a memoir, or sum it all up in a lifebook full of pictures,
maps, height charts, and other special family memories. But getting
your thoughts together isn't as easy as you would think, and so,
to help you through it, we've created the Tell Your Adoption Story
page: www.adoptivefamilies.com/story.
- advice on how to write about adoption
- articles on how to create the perfect lifebook
- links to adoption memoirs, along with authoritative book
reviews, at the AF bookstore.
