How Do We Feel About Adoption?

A workbook to help adopted children discuss their feelings about adoption in a healthy way - part of The Adoption Club series

Designed to help adopted children aged 5-11 to explore their feelings and behavior, this illustrated therapeutic workbook features a group of children - The Adoption Club. The story provides a gentle, playful way to start difficult conversations.

The children of The Adoption Club have lots of different feelings about adoption.

Michael was scared when he first met this adopted family, and was worried his adoptive family might not keep him. Other children talk about feeling happy, sad and angry, and how feeling can make them behave strangely. This workbook gives children a way to sort out feelings, discuss them and feel better.

Written for counsellors and therapists working with children aged 5-11, as well as adoptive parents, this workbook is designed to help children to explore their feelings and behavior. It is one of a set of five interactive therapeutic workbooks featuring The Adoption Club written to address the key emotional and psychological challenges adopted children often experience. Together, they provide an approachable, interactive and playful way to help children to learn about themselves and have fun at the same time.
