Adoption: facing the challenge

John Steley on some of the realities of adopting children from the care system

Usually I sit down to write as a psychologist.

This time it is different. My wife and I are adoptive parents. For years we have listened to others who have adopted children and learned what we can from them. So now I do not write as a professional, but as a Christian and as an adoptive parent who listens to other adoptive parents.
