Focus on the Family has been connecting for years with the needs of families. One newer initiative is in the area of orphan care. For starters, they offer some really helpful resources (including, for example, Karyn Purvis’s The Connected Child).

David and Renee Sanford are the editors of Handbook on Thriving as an Adoptive Family: Real-Life Solutions to Common Challenges. They have collected ideas, information, and personal stories from adoptive parents and from professionals.

Many thanks to the folks at the Focus exhibit here at Global Orphan Summit VII who have donated 5 copies to be given away.

If you’d like to be eligible for winning a copy of Handbook on Thriving as an Adoptive Family: Real-Life Solutions to Common Challenges, please go to my website to find out what what to do.
