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…

This is a free Chinese Language class! I must admit I have not tried it out yet and I suspect that it will probably be easier for someone whose had at least one basic Mandarin class, it’s worth trying out. It appears that it’s facilited through Quicktime movies–which is awesome! I’ll report back on this when I’ve tried it out. For those of you who have paid for language classes, you know how valuable this resourced is.

This book is one that I have not read yet, but I remember being very excited when it came out. Especially since at that time there were very few of these type resources for purely adoption parenting. But we are very blessed these days with all the resources that are coming out. Ahh, so many books, so little time.
