This site may be able to find your Chinese adopted daughter’s “Finding Ad” (an ad run in local papers in China about where and when your daughter was found). We ordered this service and it will be invaluable to Savannah when she grows up.

Adoptive Parenting Attachment Websites

Okay, let me just say this up front…this is one of the ugliest sites I’ve ever seen (and that’s not just the web designer in me coming out). However, I have been to one of Doris Landry’s seminars–Discipline with an Adoption Twist–and SHE IS AWESOME. She is based in Holland, Michigan, but there are also a number of attachment therapists around Western Michigan that belong to the Attachment Coalition (Adoption Parenting Home Page is the name of this site). There are also a number of invaluable articles for downloading on this site. But if I don’t provide you with a link to these internal pages, I’m afraid you may never find them. So, here is a link to the page of resources I’m talking about.

Earlier this year I heard Ron speak in Holland, Michigan. He has counseled grown adoptees and the perspective he brings to parents just adopting is invaluable. If you get a chance to hear his speak I can highly recommend it. He has also written a book about his findings. Here is a link…
