The purpose of the book is to help prospective parents better understand the risk factors as well as the protective factors a child from overseas is presenting, support the parents through the decision-making process, and guide them during the period of transition in their lives as their new child moves into their family.The premise of Risk and Promise is that the success of any adoptive placement is a function of not only the capabilities and needs of the child, but also the expectations, characteristics, and lifestyle of the adoptive family members. It is important that prospective adoptive families assess their tolerance for uncertainty, for the potential challenges that the child may bring, and the parents' ability (financial and otherwise) to modify their lifestyle in order to accommodate the demands of a child who may be quite challenging. Along these lines, a secondary objective of this book is to enlighten prospective adoptive parents regarding the extent of what may be required of them if, indeed, they are to fulfill the commitment that they are making in taking on the responsibility for a child whose needs will unfold over time.Risk and Promise is written by a team of pediatricians, a clinical psychologist, and an infant mental health specialist based on their extensive research and clinical experience in working with children adopted from overseas. The first two sections of the book provide prospective parents with information as it will come to them during the adoption process. Each major section is then divided into key subsections that focus the information on specific characteristics related to the child. The book's third section consists of worksheets that parents can fill out to help them collect baseline information that will be helpful in both the short and long term. The authors' goal in writing this book is to insure that every adoption is a well-informed adoption that ultimately promotes the health and development of the child and the family.
