We read that book too, really good. Also there's a book called... An adoption diary its by a writer called Maria James. She tells you her story right from the start of process right up to placement of child and after. It's a really good book. Highly recommended.

I always recommend Flying Solo by Julia Wise. It's a single woman's adoption journey, but people adopting as a couple would enjoy it too, as it is a very funny, but honest, account.

As a Daddy I would recommend the BAAF Approaching fatherhood book.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Approaching-Fatherhood-Guide-Adoptive-Others/dp/1903699657/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1377258412&sr=8-8&keywords=adoption+for+dads

I agree with others. Flying Solo is fab! I have passed this on to my family/support network to read as well. I would also recommend getting your family 'Related by Adoption'.The Adoptors Handbook (4th Edition) by Amy Neil Slater has lots of ideas for reading and organisations you can contact.
