I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla...
I am reading an excellent book. Well, I am actually reading several excellent books. Adoption Parenting and The Connected Child are so very eye-opening and informative. I will admit to reading parts of each book and thinking to myself..."wow, we have many miles left to travel as adoptive parents...I should stock up on sleep now!!" I also discovered another book on Amazon that I find to be truly enlightening called I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla: Raising Healthy Black and Biracial Children in a Race-Conscious World by Marguerite Wright. I am so glad I love to read because we, as a family built through the spirit of adoption, have much too learn. We are truly blessed to have books like these to facilitate that learning process.

I just ordered "I'm Chocolate Your Vanilla" from Amazon the other day! And "The Connected Child" is next on my list! As first time parents (and a lover of reading), I am currently reading "Parenting with Love and Logic." Good thus far! Happy Reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to check that one out as well! I have a entire "wish list" created at Amazon of books on adoption that I am dying to read! Keep me posted on any others you might find!
