When a child enters a new family with its own established lifestyle and ways of doing things - all of which can be overwhelming and confusing - grandparents and other relatives can help to guide the new child through what may seem to be an incomprehensible maze of values, standards and behaviours. Older relatives are also usually the main storytellers' in the family and hold the collective memories. Listening to family stories can provide adopted children with an opportunity to familiarise themselves with their new relatives. This book is a guide to providing it.'
