So I ordered some books last night
I ordered Adoption for Dummies and The Complete Idiots Guide to Adoption for DH and I to start reading. Any other adoption books on your must read list?

Re: So I ordered some books last night
I liked The Complete Adoption Book. It was very informative.
Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother was good, especially in that she discussed things you might not expect. I didn't think a lot of it pertained to our situation, but was surprised by how much did.
Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew was also an eye-opener, but I think it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Not all these things (or any possible issues you may read about) will apply to all adopted children.
After that, most of the books we've read were more geared to the type of adoption we are pursuing (international toddler/older child).
