Resources: Review - Honest answers for adopted children

1 min read
"Where did I come from?" "Did I grow in your tummy mum?" These are the types of questions children ask that cause embarrassment to many parents.

When the child who asks has been adopted, parents can struggle to find answers that are truthful without upsetting their child.

This recently updated BAAF publication offers clear and constructive advice on offering age-appropriate information from early years through to adolescence and beyond.

A practical and informative book, it offers step-by-step guidance on when, where and how to talk to children about adoption. To its credit, it tackles both the positive and potentially challenging aspects of helping a child to understand his or her background in a way that will leave the child feeling safe, secure and loved.

This resource has a holistic feel and offers a range of case studies that portray how different families have positively talked with their children about adoption.
