Preparing for Adoption: Everything Adopting Parents Need to Know About Preparations, Introductions and the First Few Weeks
Cuvânt înainte de Hugh Thornbery Autor Julia Davisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2014
În cadrul programelor de studiu dedicate asistenței sociale și psihologiei familiei, etapa premergătoare adopției este adesea tratată sub aspect formal, administrativ. Cartea Preparing for Adoption, scrisă de Julia Davis, vine să acopere o lacună esențială, mutând accentul pe pregătirea emoțională și practică a mediului familial înainte de sosirea copilului. Apreciem rigoarea cu care autoarea, terapeut cu experiență în cadrul agenției Adoptionplus, fundamentează necesitatea unei fundații sigure, bazate pe înțelegerea istoricului copilului și a traumelor timpurii. Lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Child Adoption de R.A.C. Hoksbergen prin oferirea unor strategii terapeutice specifice pentru gestionarea nevoilor de atașament, nu doar a aspectelor logistice ale integrării. Remarcăm cum Julia Davis își valorifică expertiza clinică pentru a traduce concepte complexe de psihologie în sfaturi aplicate pentru amenajarea locuinței și pregătirea rețelei de suport (familie și prieteni). Această abordare completează temele explorate în lucrările sale anterioare, precum Adopting, unde punea accent pe poveștile de viață, sau Parenting Adopted Teenagers, care viza o etapă de dezvoltare ulterioară. Structura este una progresivă: primele capitole clarifică procesul decizional, capitolele centrale (3-5) se ocupă de pregătirea efectivă a tuturor membrilor familiei, inclusiv a copiilor existenți, în timp ce ultimele secțiuni abordează tranziția spre casă și primele provocări inerente. Tonul este unul echilibrat, evitând optimismul nefondat și oferind în schimb instrumente profesionale pentru construirea unei relații de încredere pe termen lung.

Descriere
When you decide to adopt a child, you might assume that all the important work begins when the child comes to live with you. In fact the preparation stage before is crucial in ensuring that the adopted child will arrive to a safe and secure family. Preparing for Adoption provides clear advice on how to prepare for your adoptive child and create a strong foundation for a healthy and loving relationship. Julia Davis explains how many different factors can shape preparations for adoption, such as finding out about your child's history and using this information to establish a family environment which will meet your child's specific attachment needs. There is also advice on how to prepare your home to create a sense of safety for your child and how to prepare your family to support you as adoptive parents.
Primarily for adopters, foster carers and professionals supporting adopters, this book offers ideas and strategies to help parents prepare a happy and settled home for children before their arrival and ways to parent them in the early days of becoming a family that addresses their attachment needs.
Recenzii
The book contains plenty of practical suggestions around preparing children for a move into an adoptive family and helping them to settle and bond once they are there. She doesn't gloss over the challenges that this momentous time can present, but guides everyone involved with compassion and sensitivity. She also includes information on the special considerations required when siblings are transitioning, which isn't always covered in other texts.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone involved in a child's transition from foster care into an adoptive family. I wish it had been around when our family was starting out.
Preparing for Adoption breaks down the fraught build-up towards an adoption into calm, manageable and well-informed chunks, all of which are backed up with perceptive references to recent theory and shining examples of good practice. Each stage - preparing yourself, your future child, your family and friends and even their birth family - for the enormous forthcoming change in all their lives - is enlightened by extremely useful suggestions and invaluable insight gained from Julia Davies' personal and professional experience. Best of all, there is real empathy for all those involved in this complex and often lengthy process. I would thoroughly recommend this wonderful book to prospective adopters and their friends and family, as well as foster carers and social work practitioners. I only wish it had been written earlier.
I thought adopters couldn't be prepared for everything... until I read this book! It is tremendous - jam packed with practical advice and case studies that bring the real issues to life together with an excellent overview of the theory. I think all prospective adopters should be required to read it before children can be placed with them.
This is the book I wish I could have read before we became foster parents. It manages to walk the fine line between being realistic about the trauma and corresponding issues that the children may face, without making them seem impossible to parent...Adoptive parents, even if you think you've read everything there is on bringing a new child into your home, I urge you to pick this book up...This is a hard job. Don't do it alone.
