Sarah Naish has done it again and produced a book that's destined to become a 'must read' in the adoption and fostering world. This book walks you through the experience of adoption, from the very beginning of the journey, from the perspectives of the adopter (Sarah) and her children. Sarah Dillon uses her lived experiences of foster care to open up a window into the children's experiences, perspectives and feelings. The intertwined perspectives of the adopter and children, at different parts of their journey towards becoming a family, are powerful, honest and raw. Helpful commentary throughout evokes deep empathy and curiosity whilst gifting wisdom and hope. --Dr Helen Rodwell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Certified Theraplay® Practitioner, Associate Supervisor & Trainer, Certified DDP Practitioner & Author

I am not sure when Sarah was in my house to see my struggles - at least that's how it felt reading the book! --Liza Barry, adoptive mother and court-based social worker

All families of children affected by trauma are on a journey, and this book will help to guide you and your family on your journey from trauma to trust. Sarah Naish shares her own experiences of adopting five siblings. She describes how to use therapeutic parenting - a deeply nurturing parenting style - to overcome common challenges when raising children who have experienced trauma. The book describes a series of difficult episodes for her family, exploring both parent's and child's experiences of the same events - with the child's experience written by a former fostered child - and in doing so reveals the very good reasons why traumatized children behave as they do. The book explores the misunderstandings that grow between parents and their children, and provides comfort to the reader - you are not the only family going through this! Full of insights from a family and others who have really been there, this book gives you advice and strategies to help you and your family thrive.
