" LifeBooks have been used in public adoptions for quite a while, but it is a gift for us that Beth O'Malley- an adoptee and skilled social worker- has taken the challenge of helping all families to give their children and themselves a container that will help to hold the past and weave the child's past into his or her present and that of new families.
Beth is the best one for this task as her sensitivity, wisdom, and creativity bring depth of perception and clearness of vision to the difficult task of telling hard but true stories to children.
This book and its accoutrements are a gift for adoptive and birth families and for professional (therapists, social workers, adoption agencies, and attorneys) .
