Are there any good books on African Adoption?

Now open for families in the process of adopting from Ethiopia or who want to ask questions about the program from those who are currently in the process

Are there any good books on African Adoption?

Postby xinyumom » Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:20 pm

Jumping over from the China board.

My husband and I are starting a Rwanda adoption. I'm having trouble finding resources on African adoption. I see that there are some on African-American Domestic adoption but I would think that there would be different issues.

Maybe because it is still relatively new there just aren't that many?

I did find the post on children's books. I'm all over that!

Thanks for your help!

Are you looking for books on the process, on parenting black children, on African culture?? I may be able to help but wasn't sure what specific aspect you are wondering about

I guess mostly parenting black children but honestly I'll take any recommendations you have.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll check that one out.

Also, I just finished reading "From Ashes to Africa." It is the story of one couple dealing with infertility and adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia.

Great book!
