by Elizabeth Bartholet.
I've read books about International Adoption, Russian Adoption, Toddler Adoption, Attaching in Adoption, China Adoption and many many others.
I've worked with a Victim's Advocacy Unit in the District Attorney's Office. I worked in the Criminal Division there also where I had to read the reports of abuse that never made it to trial. I thought I'd be prepared.
Then I started reading this book.
I feel like a fraud. I thought I was fairly informed regarding adoption issues.
I know absolutely NOTHING regarding Fos-Adopt, Foster Care, Children in Foster Homes............nothing........
This book is challenging the Foster Care system as "we" know it and is only one of the first few books I am reading.
It is written by a Harvard Law School Professor who believes the US should apply the lessons learned through the battered women's movement to these battered children.
This book was not on the reading list the agency gave me.For those people out there who have gone through this process (Foster Parenting and Fos-Adopt)... what other books would you recommend for me to read?
