China Adoption Coach

Ni hao! This website is dedicated to helping you successfully meet the challenges of parenting your adoptive child. Whether you are in the paperchase phase or already have your child home from China, I hope the parenting information and resources on this website will ease your stress and help you find the answers you need.

If you are just beginning your adoption journey, I urge you to learn as much as you can before you meet your child. If you have found this website because you are already a parent and have encountered adoption-related issues, please examine the links and books carefully. I have attempted to list every solid resource I have encountered in my own journey to be a successful adoptive parent.

I suggest you start browsing the resources on this website by reading a very powerful, insightful article by a proud adoptive mom of two daughters from China. Heidi Holman poignantly recounts her personal struggle to help her daughter find the path to healing after spending the first year of life in an orphanage: Short Circuits.
