Every situation is different for each individual, creating a large selection of books and articles to choose from.

Below are a few of our favorite suggestions that may prove beneficial when you’re in the midst of raising an amazing child in your expanded family:

  • Modern Families: Parents and Children in New Family Forms” is an insightful piece by Susan Golombok that looks into the modern family dynamic.

Dr. Golombok focuses on a wide range of modern families, from donors and surrogates to same-sex couples and more. While her book covers more than just adoption, the overall value of this writing is sure to bring more meaning and enjoyment to your life.

  • Instant Mom” is an interesting look into the life of known author Nia Vardalos and her challenges and triumphs in parenting. Vardalos enlightens readers to her struggles, from surrogate parents to homeopathic approaches and more. While this book focuses on adopting a child of three years old, the heartfelt message and what it means to be a parent helps to make Instant Mom an instant hit.
