"This
book certainly fills a void! It is well written in a simple, thoughtful
and sensitive way. It can be a valuable aid in helping children understand,
adjust and cope with a very traumatic situation in their life."
- S. Pantouris. M.D.
"It
takes a person who has gone through the foster child process as a potential
adoptive parent to have both the empathy and objectivity to perceive
the need for an educational tool for the children. Pamela Jackson has
been through the process, and in developing this book, has done an incredible
service for the dependency law field, and particularly to the children
involved."
- Judge Tim Strickland
(retired circuit judge, FL)
