From the Publisher
104 pages, single spaced full size 8-1/2"x11" softcover, comb-bound,
with photos and drawings; written about the culture of the people of Cambodia,
with the adoptive parent in mind. The largest section of the book is
Q&A, taken from questions Ngasha has answered on the Internet
adopt-from-Cambodia news lists over the past 7 years; keep in mind, these are
CULTURAL questions--the methods and process of adopting from Cambodia are NOT
discussed in this book. There is not much dealing with sight-seeing and travel,
either, since that info is widely available, especially from Lonely Planet
guidebooks, but some other sections that *are* included in Ngasha's book are on
food and cooking, "comfort" food for adopted Cambodian children,
Cambodian recipes, memoirs of a Cambodian child of growing up in Cambodia BEFORE
the Pol-Pot (Khmer Rouge era) days; this part was written by Ngasha's husband of
22 years, Savoeun. There is a small section on names and naming, and how
names are used in Cambodia; a short section on language and a word list with
things like "hungry," "need to pee-pee" and other things
adoptive parents of older kids will need to understand. There are also
do's and don'ts for dealing with Cambodian people, how to greet and visit with
Khmers (Cambodian people), and so on. Much included information is not
available anywhere else.
