Amazingly all available material seemed much too lengthy and scattered to be useful. For Vincenette the next logical step was to write The Adoption Dilemma, a fifty page booklet of practical information.
The booklet was sent to numerous publishing houses most of whom said it was an excellent work, but that it would have to be lengthened to about two-hundred pages in order to become financially viable. Vincenette chose not to defeat the purpose of her work and produced the booklet herself, advertising by mail. The response was astounding as it met the needs of social workers everywhere.
So with continued sales of her booklet, Arvin Publications came to be. A few years later, at the request of several agencies, Ms. Scheppler wrote Professional Parenthood - A Guide for Foster Care, which was even more successful than The Adoption Dilemma.
In the course of her work with youngsters, Ms. Scheppler later designed a Life Book which has now helped thousands of young children develop a sense of identity.
These three publications have all become classics in the field.
