Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reunion between family members who have been separated by an adoption can be a very emotional event. For most people there is great joy and excitement, but for some there can be anger and disappointment. The ecstasy of adoption reunions probably needs no explanation and is often enthusiastically anticipated. However, agony can also be experienced and this is often unexpected and alarming. Many books have been produced which describe people's experiences of adoption and reunion. However, Evelyn Robinson's books successfully explain in a straightforward manner why those people feel the way they do. Her books help readers to put their feelings and experiences into a useful context. Evelyn's approach is both personal and professional, but, above all, practical and informative. Evelyn Robinson has written four books about adoption. This is her third book. 'Adoption Reunion - Ecstasy or Agony?' is partly an updated and condensed version of her first two books, with some new material added. In it she explains simply and concisely what it is about adoption separation and reunion which causes such intense and varied emotions. Evelyn has included a selection of her responses to some of the many questions she has been asked over the last twenty years. Evelyn's answers are always gentle yet direct and exhibit the wisdom and knowledge she has gained throughout her wide-ranging experience of working with members of the adoption community and professionals in many locations around the world.'Adoption Reunion - Ecstasy or Agony?' was published in 2009 and updated in 2018.

This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a hugely successful US model, the Seven Core Issues in Adoption is the first conceptual framework of its kind to offer a unifying lens that was inclusive of all individuals touched by the adoption experience. The Seven Core Issues are Loss, Rejection, Shame/Guilt, Grief, Identity, Intimacy, and Mastery/Control. The book expands the model to be inclusive of adoption and all forms of permanency: adoption, foster care, kinship care, donor insemination and surrogacy. Attachment and trauma are integrated with the Seven Core Issues model to address and normalize the additional tasks individuals and families will encounter. The book views the Seven Core Issues from a range of perspectives including: multi-racial, LGBTQ, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, African-American, International, openness, search and reunion, and others. This essential guide introduces each Core Issue, its impact on individuals, offering techniques for growth and healing.
