520    A leading authority on adoption and an award-winning 
       writer bring wisdom and clarity to situations important to
       all adoptive parents. Real Parents, Real Children goes 
       beyond the question of when to tell children they are 
       adopted with practical advice for parents on how to talk 
       with their children about adoption - not just once but 
       throughout childhood, adolescence, and into young 
       adulthood - and how to help them through the rougher 
       points of growing up adopted. Authors. 
520    Holly van Gulden and Lisa Bartels-Rabb offer insight into 
       how adopted children at each age commonly think and feel 
       about being adopted. They also explain how and why adopted
       children grieve for their birth parents and suggest ways 
       adoptive parents can help them come to a healthy 
       resolution of this grief. For prospective parents, the 
       authors discuss ways to prepare themselves and the child 
       they are about to adopt for the new family union. 
       Throughout, the special concerns. 
520    and challenges of interracial, international, and older-
       child adoptions are also addressed. Though written with 
       parents in mind, Real Parents, Real Children provides the 
       clinical information that professional therapists, 
       counselors, and placement workers must have if they are to
       truly be of help to adoptive families at every stage of 
       their lives. Real Parents, Real Children fills a real gap 
       in adoption literature and offers confidence and assurance
       as well as.
