Web Site Resources

The following sites are articles related to child development and parenting specifically for adopted children. These sites are well-researched to provide insight for parents of adopted children. We have found Dr. Karyn Purvis to be an excellent source for many of the unique concerns adoptive parents have. The questions of attachment, abandonment, and abuse are addressed in a scholarly yet very practical way within a the context of a Christian world view.
