_Easing the Transition_ is a handbook which includes basic information about
overseas adoption. It does NOT have a language component.
If you are ordering a language set (Russian, Mandarin, or Spanish), please
do NOT order _Easing the Transition_. (The information is already part of
your adoption-specific language set.)
_Easing the Transition_ was written at the request of agencies who wanted
adoptive parents to have clear and concise information about Waiting,
Travel, Bonding, and Parenting. Several agencies order it in bulk to
provide copies to their adoptive parents as part of their basic adoption
information packets, along with order forms for the language sets.
If you are adopting from a country where Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian are
NOT spoken, _Easing the Transition_ is the handbook for you!
It's $12.50 ($9.95 + $2.55 First Class shipping). Mail your check (made out
to TLC) to
TLC P.O. Box 90 Taylor, AZ 85939-0090 Thank you.
Agencies: Wholesale prices are available for bulk orders. Agencies find this
an inexpensive and positive way to get some basic facts to adoptive parents
about what to expect in the first weeks and months their kids are home.

Important Note:
You MUST see the Matryoshka Family Portrait (Nesting Dolls) that my
daughter painted for me!
(Please click on 'Photos/Docs' above and look at 'Teresa's Family'
and then 'Matryoshka Portrait.') My daughter (19 years old) is
quite the artist, isn't she? If you want one of these masterpieces of
your family, please contact me via email as soon as possible:

My daughter is painting only 10-15 of these little treasures per year
to earn money for college. She still has space/time to paint a few more
family portraits! Contact us at Adopttlc@aol.com Teresa & Mora
5-piece sets, 7-piece sets, 10-piece sets. Let your imagination run
wild: include an extended family member, a beloved pet, or a typical
doll from your child's country as the tiniest member of your Matryoshka
Family Portrait! Your children will treasure these fun and fanciful
family portraits forever. :-)
