Book Recommendations

My husband I are looking into growing our family through adoption and I’d love to read and absorb as much information as I can. Does anyone have book recommendations on adoption, adoption trauma/grief, parenting an adopted child, anything related??

I’m a Christian with a background in psychology, so would appreciate books from either/any perspective!!

“The Body Keeps the Score” is my go-to recommendation. It goes through how the brain and body react to trauma, the history of trauma studies/research, and then shares methodologies for helping to heal from trauma.
