Book Description

Finally, a childcare book written with the unique needs of adopted toddlers in mind. Written by an adoptive parent, Adopting A Toddler: What Size Shoes Does She Wear? is an indispensable guide to the wonderful world of toddler adoption. Filled with essential parenting information, Adopting a Toddler answers many questions that parents ask, including questions about changing a name, choosing a crib versus a bed, beginning potty training, and what size shoes to buy.

Adopting a Toddler is easy to read and covers every aspect of adopting a one to four year-old; with sections on the toddler wardrobe, the nursery, child safety, mealtime, bath time, selecting a pediatrician, medical considerations, international adoption travel, pre and post adoption resources, and more. Adopting a Toddler provides the most up-to-date solutions for preparing for your new arrival.

"If you're a first time parent, believe me--this is the practical 'how to, how much, when, where and why' guide to preparing for and welcoming your toddler home. Highly recommended!"--Roberta Rosenberg, AdoptShoppeBooks.com

"Adopting a Toddler fulfills an unclaimed niche within the realm of older child adoption literature. Ms. Hoppenhauer combines research with her personal experiences as an adoptive parent. Parents will refer to it multiple times."--Susan M. Ward Editor, Older Child Adoption Online Magazine, www.olderchildadoption.com

"Written with a mom's humor, this book contains the most practical advice on adopting a toddler I have ever read."--John Maclean, Author, Russian Adoption Handbook, Chinese Adoption Handbook

Waste of Time and Money.......2007-03-09

International adoption is too expensive to waste your money on a book like this. The author says that she tried to write a book about everything she wished she'd thought of before adopting a toddler - unfortunately, my impression is that she didn't think it through much at all. The book is full of helpful tidbits like if you are adopting a three year old, you might want to consider getting a toddler bed instead of a crib, or if you're feeling frumpy and stressed out with all the waiting, you could go shopping! Or maybe get some Glamor Shots taken! Seriously, most of the things in this book are either common sense (don't leave the kid alone in the bathtub) or just plain goofy (Glamor Shots, getting your hair bleached blond). If I had been able to flip through it at a bookstore, I never would have purchased it.

Oooo! I forgot! Bring a cute outfit for the child to wear when you take pictures!

A wonderful resource for people adopting a toddler!.......2006-09-05

This book addressed many of the questions I had about the details of a toddler adoption (packing, nursery, etc.) It is written in a style that makes you feel like you are just talking with a good friend and was a quick read. The author reccomends Toddler Adoption, A Weaver's Craft for informatin about the more complicated issues of attachment and bonding, and I agree. Again, it is an excellent look at the details associated with adopting a toddler and preparing for their arrival.

Everything you need to know about adopting toddlers.......2006-04-26

My husband and I found this to be one of the best books we have read so far on adopting toddlers. We are adopting 2 from Russia, and not having any biological children, we have lots of questions. This book is simply fantastic. It gave us lists of what/how to prepare for our new arrivals, some info on the process we can expect in Russia, home safety, sizes we can expect them to be, etc. This was well worth the money. The book is written in a very conversational tone, so it is not difficult reading like some of the other books that focus on case studies. We were able to read it in just a couple of hours. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who does not have previous toddler childcare experience.

Disappointing.......2006-03-03

I was hoping this book would help prepare me as we wait to adopt a 2.5-3 year old child. Unfortunately, the book is really geared towards first time parents and since this will be our 4th child, there was very little in the book that I found at all helpful.

very useful book.......2005-07-03

I read this book before traveling to Russia to meet a child I might adopt. It was very helpful. In basic language it explains what to bring, expect and some tips on what to do. I shared it with my mother as well as with a friend who were supposed to travel with me. My friend came and she felt it was also quite informative.
