Home School Book Review on “We’re All Not the Same, But We’re Still Family”

Having adopted both of our sons, I found that this book covers the exact questions and issues that were discussed in our pre-adoption training. The story was written for adoptive families to explore the benefits of adoption openness. In her “For Parents and Caregivers Only” at the back of the book, co-author Theresa Harris, a therapist and adoptive mother, warns, “Openness may not always be positive for families.” But when it is a positive experience, it can help to address the important themes of identity, attachment, grief, and loss that adopted children (and their parents) often have to deal with.

R.E.P.A.I.R. is a Six-Stage Program for abuse survivors that will transform your life forever!

  • Recognize and accept your adult problems stemming from childhood sexual abuse.
  • Enter into a commitment to transform your life.
  • Process your issues with tools and techniques that will enable you to become healthy.
  • Awareness to discover reality as you gather and assemble the pieces of the broken puzzle your life became.
  • Insight into the complete picture helps you begin to return to what you were prior to being sexually violated.
  • Rhythm recovers the natural rhythm you had before the incest happened, the blueprint that is the essence of your true nature, becoming who you really are.

    REPAIR for Teens recognizes the unique issues confronting adolescent abuse survivors including peer pressure, difficulties with school, acting out, the urge to self-soothe with cutting or unhealthy eating behaviors, running away and the possibility of living with an abuser in the family. Remember, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys have been sexually assaulted by the age of 18. No teenager should be alone in trying to sort out their life after sexual abuse.Therapists’ Acclaim for REPAIR Your Life
