An invaluable resource for any family who has adopted or is planning to adopt from China, A Passage to the Heart gathers together more than one hundred articles published over the past few years in the regional newsletters of the leading Chinese-adoption support group, Families with Children from China, and similar organizations across the United States, Canada, and Britain. Writing from personal experience as adoptive parents or professionals working with adoptive families, the authors discuss such topics as the waiting period, the adoption journey, settling in as a new or expanded family, specific issues of health and development for children adopted from China, the special challenges and rewards of adopting children over the age of one, single parenting through adoptions, perspectives on China and International adoption, culture, language, identity, and race, going back to our children's birth country, thinking about birth parents, and other adoption issues.
