I’ve been looking for a place to house links to valuable resources for adoptive families. When I mentioned this to my brilliant resource guru of a husband, he suggested a rather grand scheme. Our interactive resource guide is under development, but in the meantime, check out this sampling of fabulous links, ranging from therapy to culture to events and activities! Everyone listed here has worked with transracially adoptive families. In full disclosure, links in bold are those with which I am intimately involved. I will grow this list over time and hope to have a fully interactive resource guide available by 2013. Thank you for visiting!
