Читать книгу Forever Fingerprints - Sherrie Eldridge - Страница 4

Dear Parents,

Wouldn’t it be great to have someone who could teach you what to say when your child asks

deep questions about adoption at a busy traffic intersection? Someone who could help you

understand what your child may be thinking about when daydreaming? Someone who could

teach you how to create a safe environment for your child to talk freely about adoption?

Seven-year-old Lucie, the main character of this book, along with her adoptive parents, will do

that for you! When you see their healthy family dynamics, the nervous discomfort about talking

adoption with your child, the fear that your child loves the birth parents more than you, and the

fear that you’ll say the wrong thing, will all disappear.

You will learn new ways to:

•talk adoption with your child without feeling threatened or nervous

•use everyday circumstances as springboards into meaningful adoption discussions

•handle painful or missing birth history

•be confident about your irreplaceable role in your child’s life

•show unconditional love to your child

•enter your child’s world and understand his or her perspective about adoption.

As you read Lucie’s delightful adoption story, I promise that “talking adoption” with your child will take on a new dimension. You will be looking for those springboards for conversation and feel confident that you are communicating unconditional love to your child. Lucie and her adoption-savvy parents will show you how to talk adoption in a winsome way that will be welcomed by your child.

With warm regards,
