Weir
walks you through every step of the adoption process, from selecting an adoption agency, to understanding how to talk to your child about adoption using the No Less/No More principle, to finding therapy services that will allow your child to develop secure bonds with family and friends. Most important, you'll encounter a fascinating, first-of-its-kind look at the seven salient factors
Weir
has identified as critical predictors of a child's long-term adoption outcome: age of placement, placement history, medical and special needs, parental care history, demographic variables, and developmental issues. Understanding how these circumstances affect the ability of a child to attach to caregivers, behave appropriately, and formulate an enduring self-identity, will help you ensure a fulfilling relationship with your child.
