Smart Marriages Conference Review

Smart Marriages ConferenceThe 2007 annual Smart Marriages Conference took place in Denver, Colorado.

This year's location in Denver drew almost 2500 attendees to the Smart Marriages Conference, and Routledge was pleased to be on hand to welcome a broad range of counselors, therapists, students, nonprofit organizations, and interested couples.

Making Room in Our Hearts: Keeping Family Ties Through Open Adoption

by Micky Duxbury

Making Room in Our Hearts: Keeping Family Ties Through Open AdoptionAdopted persons face challenges their entire lives as they struggle to answer the most basic question: Who am I?

The hope of open adoption is that adopted children will develop stronger identities if they have the opportunity to develop healthy ongoing relationships with their families of origin.

Making Room in Our Hearts offers an intimate look at how these relationships evolve over time, with real-life stories from families who have experienced open adoption first-hand. This book helps both adoptive and birth parents address their fears and concerns, while offering them the support to put the child's psychological and spiritual needs at the center of adoption.

Based on interviews with more than one hundred adopted children, birth and adoptive parents, extended families, professionals and experts, the book is an effective and invaluable resource for those considering open adoption, those experiencing it, and professionals in the field. Openness has altered the landscape of adoption, and Making Room in Our Hearts will help us catch up to the reality that is open adoption today.
