EMK Press publishes books for adoptees, adoptive families, foster families, and adoption professionals. We offer a variety of resources, articles, and links for parents, teachers, social workers, adoption agencies, therapists and extended family.
You will find that our books are thoughtful, on target, and tools for both parents and children. EMK Press is owned by an adoptive parent, and our editors, contributors, and writers are from all parts of the triad: adoptee, birth parents, adoptive parents; all different ages; and all parts of the world. It's a virtual village of kindred spirits who will walk with you on this journey. Find all of our adoption related books here.
Our mission is one of education and support. We have a series of top-notch guides available in the resources section, as well as links, reviews and great parenting information. Click the tabs above to navigate the site. If you have resources to share, please let us know. If there are resources you would like to see, let us know that as well and we will try to accomodate you.
Thanks for stopping by!
