I've been thinking it might be a good idea to either expand our FAQ's or keep a running sticky post with information dedicated to books related to adoption. It seems we often get questions about what to read or books that cover particular topics, and I was thinking it might be useful.
What does everyone else think? Dr. L., if it seems there is agreement to do this, could you help us put it together?
Here are two posts on the topic that might be a good start:
https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/70629736.aspx; and
https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/66010709.aspx
If possible, I think it would be best if the post broke books down into several categories. Categories might include: general adoption, general parenting, parenting adopted children, adopting older kids/parenting hurt children, interracial adoption, and books for kids about adoption.

I'm willing to update it in general if you think that would be a good idea as well. A book section would be great, I agree.
