We are learning more and more about adoption every day and there are always new and great resources available to families in the adoption process. Wherever you are in the process, Adoption Life encourages you to keep learning and finding good resources to draw from. These titles are available at most major booksellers, and if you purchase them through our Amazon Smile account, a portion of your purchase will be donated back to Adoption Life. Additionally, Adoption Life has many of these books available for lending, so don’t be afraid to reach out if that solution works better for you!
