Adoption Lifebooks Are An Important Tool

The adoption lifebook is an important tool in the life of an adopted child.  It helps him connect with who he is and where he came from, thereby giving an adopted child roots since the lifebook answers important questions for him about his birth family, and why they gave him up.

Furthermore, a lifebook often cements the child’s bond with his adoptive family.  By giving the adopted child knowledge of his birth family, it frees him to bond more deeply with his adoptive family.  In fact, in the process of working on a lifebook with your child, you may find that you have connected more deeply with him, too.
