Every so often, I buy yet-another book about strategies for dealing with traumatised adopted children. Most seemed aimed at families with young children. I'd really appreciate any reading recommendations for experienced adoptive parents with older children.

Many thanks for these. I know the Andrea Perry one and bought it for AD's school (just wish they would take it in). Have added the Margot Sunderland to my reading list - it sounds very interesting. The Why Mummy Swears/ Drinks etc series looks great too! .... always hopeful for insights that will make a difference.
