Summer (Adoptive) Reading Recommendations�

Going to the beach in a few weeks and hope to have a bit of time to do some reading� (for once)�.Does anyone have any good adoption related books that they would recommend. My kids are fairly young (under 6), 2 are adopted. We went through a lot of training and did a lot of reading a few years ago but we need to stay current. Any good books out there for adoptive families? Thx Scott

Dad�s with multiple kids, finding 1 on 1 time

Here is a non-adopted related post� I have 4 young kids and trying to figure this out as I go. My oldest is 6. He is starting to ask for more 1-on-1 time, specifically with me. I do my best to spend as much time with my kids as possible, though am sometimes finding it difficult to have a lot of dedicated 1 on 1 time with them individually. Have you seen similar requests from your kids? What have you done to make what 1-1 time you do have�. extra special? Scott

Leave Policies

I was just informed that my workplace offers 5 days Sick Leave for adoption or for Father’s in general, that seems very low to be. What are your experiences with…
