Description:

“This workbook, for parents adopting international children over age one, is the perfect resource for parents thinking about adopting a child born in another country. With Eyes Wide Open will help prospective parents know what to expect from the international adoption process, and also offers insight into the unique realities of adopting a child over age one, as opposed to a newborn. Prospective parents will feel reassured and inspired by completing exercises together as they make the emotional and physical journey to becoming mothers and fathers. Moreover, this book helps new parents embrace their child’s bicultural identity, discuss cultural differences openly, and encourage their child to explore his or her heritage later in life. Using thought-provoking exercises, role-playing, and guided imagery, this workbook will help you:

• Imagine your child’s life during the first year.
• Research and prepare for the challenges for you and your child as you transition to home and beyond.
• Think about and plan for how you will parent your child.”
