'This work is a treasure for foster and adoptive parents and for the professionals who work to assist them.'. - from the Foreword by Daniel A. Hughes, clinical psychologist, consultant, trainer and author. This book is full of the techniques that we have used successfully over the years. Many we have adapted to suit their needs and many we have made up ourselves. What we have become particularly good at is not giving up!.

Drawing on the hard-won wisdom gained in her own family life, Celia offers a thoughtful account of life with adopted children and examines the issues that many adoptive families encounter, including the development of children with attachment problems and how to tackle behavioural difficulties.
