Adult Guide to Robbie's Trail through Adoption

This 24-pg adult guide is the requisite companion piece for "Robbie's Trail through Adoption" (ISBN: 978-0-9817403-0-0), sold separately. Both are part of an educational, dialogue-opening series for kids in out-of-home care. Whereas "Robbie's Trail through Adoption" consists of an engaging adoption story and related children's activities, the "Adult Guide to Robbie's Trail through Adoption" is the piece that adoptive parents, foster parents and/or caseworkers will use to guide them as they help the child with the story and activities. Though not intended as adoptive parent training, the "Adult Guide to Robbie's Trail through Adoption" contains a wealth of background information, several tips for helping adoption-eligible children and perhaps much-needed perspective about adoption-eligible children in general. Additionally, the adult guide includes instructions for facilitating each activity, talking points and answers when applicable. The Robbie Rabbit(TM) stories and their supplemental materials are designed specifically for foster parents, adoptive parents and/or caseworkers who want to: (1) Help a foster child and/or an adoption-eligible child adjust better to tough changes in life; (2) Promote communication between the child and the important people in his life; and (3) Gain insight into a child's feelings and interpretation of the world around him.
