LIFEBOOKS

  • O' Malley, Beth

A Lifebook is more than a life story. It is a unique opportunity for parents to honor every minute of their children’s lives. It is the single most meaningful piece of “paperwork” that any social worker can complete. And foster parents? You can give an adopted or foster child a sweet childhood memory.
Lifebooks help connect children to their histories and beginnings. They create foundations that help children attach to their adoptive families. For some children in adoptive situations, feelings of numbness and floating are noted when describing “not feeling a part of.” Anything that quells these feelings helps improve quality of life.
A Lifebook starts with the child’s birth, not their arrival into their adoptive family. It is completely focused on the child’s experience and child-friendly facts.
