Recenzii

Helen is the rosetta stone for the adoption community. Her ability to understand many communication and psychological models and convert them into practical usage is much needed and welcomed. Helen knows first hand the challenges of being a parent of adopted children and yet has the ability to step back and be objective. Her book updates the adoptive community to the electronic age by addressing the ramifications of social media - Michael Grinder.
