Starting the adoption process looking for a good book?
My wife and I are starting the adoption process and while I'm not confused on the process itself I wanted to find a book on adoption and the family process etc. Not the legal process of the home study etc, that's pretty clear to see, but the whole after the move in part. The part after the paperwork. is what I'm concerned about, plus our agency is awesome so far (outside the phone tag)
Unfortunately all the books I'm finding deal with adopting babies and stuff like that. We aren't looking at adopting that young more in the ages of 9+. My opinions aside I just like reading on stuff and this seems like a good thing to read up on. Any title suggestions on ones not focused on babies or better book ideas to look for?
Thank you for the help.

Rather than a book, I would suggest reading articles online and blogs written by people who were adopted from foster care.
Start here: http://www.google.com/#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=e...
I've read a few of these fairly regularly, and although they're not all from the perspective of a former foster child, they're very eye-opening and informative.
Thank you for adopting an older child!
