The Adoption Reader

Book of the Month
The Adoption Reader: Birth Mothers, Adoptive Mothers, and Adopted Daughters Tell Their Stories Edited by Susan Wadia-Ells. The Adoption Reader contains essays and stories by birth mothers, adoptive mothers and adopted daughters. These diverse stories of women's lives illustrate how women have moved through their adoption journeys in order to name and claim their whole lives. The thirty essays written by well known authors such as Louise Erdrich, Nancy Mairs, Shay Youngblood, and Florence Fisher, along with many less established writers, cover topics such as: open adoptio, international adoption, lesbian families, single parent adoptions, bi-racial adoptees, reunions, open records, special needs children and foster parenting.
