Based on Chapman's best-selling The 5 Love Languages(R)--a specialized resource of intentional love for families of adopted children.Adoption brings unique challenges. Love and bonding don't always come naturally. There can be emotional distress, frustration, and disappointment.

- When You Don't "Feel the Love"
- Getting Spouses on the Same Page
- Help for Single Parents
- Stopping Sibling Rivalry
- Support--Why it's Needed and Where to Find It . . . and more.
