"Who makes adoption a success? We do: the kids and parents in the new family as we change shape to accommodate each other."
With more than 70 real life stories, revealing moments of vulnerability and moments of joy, this book provides an authentic insight into adoption.
These stories take the reader on a journey through every stage of the adoption process, from making the initial decision to adopt to hearing from adoptees, and offer an informative and emotive account of the reality of families' experiences along the way. It includes chapters on adopting children of all ages as well as sibling groups; adopting as a single parent; adopting as a same sex couple; adopting emotionally and physically abused children; the nightmare of adoption breaking down; contact with birth parents; tracing and social media and more.
