3.0 out of 5 stars
Not recommended reading for young adoptees,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blending O/Foster & Adopted (Focus on Family Matters) (Library Binding)
While this book has some good, basic information about adoption and foster care, it's a little outdated. It uses language like "real" parents, "natural" parents, and presents the idea of adopted children being chosen (an explanation that adoptive parents know puts an undue burden on their children).The writing also tends to change audience and makes it difficult to know who should be reading it. The title sounds almost like a "how-to" book for parents to read; the text, however, switches between talking about adopted children in general and addressing the reader directly as an adopted child. It reads as if two different authors tried to put it together. I gave this book 3 stars because it does address some difficult issues such as race, identity, anger, depression, and searching for birthparents, but it's just not put together very well.
