Life Story Books For Adopted and Fostered Children

Life Story Books for Adopted and Fostered Children, Second Edition, contains a guide to a family friendly way to compile a Life Story Book.

Through words, pictures, photographs, certificates and other 'little treasures', a Life Story Book provides a detailed account of the child's early history and a chronology of their life, aiming to reinforce the child's sense of security before addressing the child's past trauma.

The book contains practical examples, helpful suggestions, simple explanations to complex concepts and some simple checklists.

This Second Edition has been expanded to include fostered children and those living in kinship or with a Special Guardian.

Perfect for social workers, adoption agencies, adoptive parents, foster carers and kinship carers, Life Story Books for Adopted and Fostered Children is a refreshing, innovative and common-sense guide.
