A Child of Two Families. An Adopted Child in the Family

In the second book of the series "An Adopted Child in the Family," Lyudmila Petranovskaya discusses the complex process of identity formation in an adopted child, how he experiences separation from his biological family, and how he integrates in his soul attachment to both his biological and adoptive parents. Should the secret of adoption be kept? Should the child’s relationship with biological parents be supported? How long does it take for a child to accept adoptive parents? Using examples from the lives of grown-up adopted children, the author illustrates each of the questions that worries many fathers and mothers. This edition is intended for all specialists who, in their work, encounter adopted children and adoptive parents, as well as for those who are only considering taking a child into their family. This audiobook can also be useful for parents who are dealing with divorce—or for other reasons separated from their children—and for grown children who have experience of separation from loved ones.
