Book
Sally Donovan’s ‘The Unofficial Guide to Adoptive Parenting’ is a practical and funny handbook for day-to-day therapeutic parenting.
Adoptive parent Sally Donovan draws on both expert training and her personal experience raising two traumatised children to offer grounded, realistic advice for navigating the everyday and complex challenges of adoptive parenting.
It’s honest, practical, and deeply human, with chapters tackling everyday flashpoints and the bigger identity and regulation challenges – from anxiety around new routines, school stress, sleep, and so much more. Think relatable and hopeful without sugar-coating.
