Resources on Blended Families:
Combining Children by Birth and Adoption:
- Brothers and Sisters in
Adoption by Arleta James. Available from www.perspecitivepress.com or Amazon. This is a
thorough (535 pages!) assessment of issues that may develop and
things parents can do when adding a child with a history of past
trauma (abuse, neglect, and orphanage living) to a family with
existing children. This book does not address the more run of the
mill issues that arises when children without significant trauma
are adopted.
- Adoptive
Families has a collection of archived articles on deciding
to adopt a second (or third...) child, preparing a child to be a
brother or sister, fostering strong sibling relationships,
parenting blended families, and more.
- Great place to start for
information on
introducing adopted children to biological children.
