I bought this book when our daughter was with us for 4 years ... so why the need? Well I wanted a book that gives me keys to understand and answer some questions from my daughter who is now 8 1/2 years. One can of course read it in one gulp but also direct us to a particular chapter as in my case I wanted the best possible response to my daughter on her questions about the reasons for its abandonment. I think I have answered the doubts and questions of my daughter and since it raises more questions as if my answer had quieted some of his anxieties. The tale "Océanfance" has loved him and it allowed him to imagine his life little girl adopted. As parents the book is quite affordable compared to others with examples and easy comparisons to understand or put "in practice".
