Library Journal Review
Parenting Adopted Adolescents : Understanding and Appreciating Their Journeys
Library Journal

Keck's (Adopting the Hurt Child) valuable book is equally considerate of both children and parents. He ultimately reminds readers to be cognizant of what they can and cannot control in others and how those efforts should ultimately be approached within the context of nurturing a relationship at all costs. Presenting common difficulties, he examines them first within normal adolescent development, then outlines how adoption might require further insights or change a parent's approach. Concise, empathetic, and encouraging, this is enthusiastically recommended for anyone with an adopted adolescent.-Julianne J. Smith, Ypsilanti Dist. Lib., MI (c) Copyright 2010.
