A Life Book is always recommended and will be of great assistance in trying to establish your child’s identity. Establishing your child’s identity is crucial in facilitating their development skills, leading into proper attachment with you and your spouse. This is explained very thoroughly, along with tips on how to facilitate this in the book above called, “Parenting Your Internationally Adopted Child” by, Patty Cogen. In my opinion, this book is a MUST READ for parents with adopted children.
It is recommended that one is started as soon as you began this process. Before you send your dossier to Ukraine, fan out the entire stack of papers and take a picture. It is a great photo to have when putting your child’s Life Book together. Other great photos to have are of all the government building/entities you had to use in order to put your dossier together. I would even try to take a photo of you mailing your dossier at DHL. These are important steps in the process of bringing home your child to create your family.
