{"product_id":"special-skills-in-international-adoptive-nina-talmzsn-9783639028911","title":"Special Skills in International Adoptive Parenting","description":"The amount of international adoptions in Western countries is rising year by year. This book tries to answer the question: what kind of special skills these international adoptive parents feel they need in international adoptive parenting? This case study looks closely to the views and experiences of five Finnish international adoptive parents. It also presents many practical examples of the challenges these families have faced in their everyday life. The writer has combined Lee's (2003) cultural socialization theory that Lee has modulated particularly to international adoptive families, and Vonk's (2001) model she has developed from the basis of earlier adoption studies. This model presents the areas international adoptive parents need to focus and gain skills, knowledge and awareness in, so that they can develop their own cultural competence. The most significant results presented in this book are the four special skills the interviewed parents feel they need most in international adoptive parenting. This book also presents recommendations that are named Special Skills in International Adoptive Parenting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nina Talmén\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639028910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639028911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Nina Talmén","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486964068607,"sku":"9783639028911","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13274c3f-a7fc-471f-9fb6-7674332acd40.jpg?v=1778057436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/special-skills-in-international-adoptive-nina-talmzsn-9783639028911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
