As a Christian, I believe fully that Jesus Christ forgives and restores all. I also believe that we need to reinforce to the hurt child that they are not bad, they are not ugly, they are not unloved. We need to inforce all the good they are - as the blessing the Lord has created.
This book is a great guide with ideas on how to build a trusting and loving relationship with your child. I will use the techniques here along with the Word of God to help my soon-to-be-adopted daughter in her path to a normal and healthy life.
