Nothing raises a child's anxiety more than the unknown. "My Adoption Workbook" carefully guides the child and social worker through the entire process from separation to post-adoption. Exercises are designed to reduce fears and to promote a healthy child-to-parent relationship. Special emphasis is given to helping the child:

• Explore fears or fantasies
• Work through abuse, trust and love issues
• Build self-esteem
• Handle new situations
• Adjust to change

Also included: Commitment Ceremony, Candle Ceremony, Adoption Pledges.

Fun games include: Family Trivia and Who Decides?
