Adoption and race for parents:
- The Connected Child by Karyn Purvis
- Toddler adoption the weaver's craft by Hopkins-Best
- Taming the tiger while it is still a kitten by Nancy Thomas (the book is not particularly focused on Christians but I hear she is a Christian) I found this book to be a complimentary (the Deborah Gray's book) list of attachment signs to look for and practical ideas for attachment. It is more of a booklet. I do not know anything about her particular theory's as this book does not address that.
