[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 227256"] I have taken a look at this book and it looks really good. I have always felt that almost all, if not all, adopted kids have issues with being adopted. In a certain way, I see it as being "special needs." I do wish that more folks in the mental health professions would understand the full range of emotions here. In my area, there is a "club" of sorts for famiies with adopted kids in them. I found out about it when my difficult child was much older...18. I asked if we could still attend and they discouraged it. They said it was for young families. I do wish I had known about it earlier. I suspect such a comraderie MIGHT be helpful. From what I understand, they had montly speakers for the adults and periodic picncics and parties for the entire family. [/QUOTE]
