This workbook is profound! I couldn't stop reading it and doing the exercises. Thank you, Sharon and Allison, for your amazing insight and understanding of the issues facing our parents. This is an invaluable resource for organizations helping to support kinship, foster and adoptive parents. If I could, I would gift this workbook to every single parent who is parenting a child with loss and trauma.

- Mary M.McGowan, Executive Director of ATTACh,

This handbook gave me a much better understanding of what the seven core issues are, enabling me to manage these issues effectively.

- Benny Saville, adoptive father and Chairman, Mishpachta the Israeli adoptive community,

The authors have written a document that can help all parents as they seek to better parent their children, regardless of how each of those children joined their family. This content of the workbook will facilitate many avenues for parents and youth and older children to best use and understand the content - individual learning, informal group discussions and leader led instruction. Magnificent!
