More About the Author

Jean Nelson Erichsen was born in Sacred Heart, Minnesota. As a writer and social worker, she traveled the world to pursue her dream of helping children find the loving, stable family she was denied. Her book, How to Adopt Internationally, is still considered the bible of international adoptions. Jean's children's book, Copito the Christmas Chihuahua, is an Xmas favorite. She wrote three memoirs, Butterflies in the Wind: The Truth About Latin American Adoptions, and The Reluctant Warrior: Former German POW Finds Peace in Texas. Her latest, My Portable Life: Reluctant Runaway Finds Families For Thousands of Children, will be available in 2010. Jean received the National Council for Adoption Hall of Fame Award and an International Rights of the Child Award.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tender true story of adopting & raising multi-race children, January 3, 2005
By 
Patricia (Minneapolis, MN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Butterflies in the Wind: Spanish/Indian Children With White Parents (Paperback)
"Butterflies in the Wind" is another helpful book for parents raising children, but especially in a family with other race children. My husband and I were helped greatly 30 years ago, by the authors, and their initial book, "How to adopt Internationally." When we decided to add to our family by adoption, we heard about Jean and Heino, then in our city, and learned how to go thru the process. We learned so much from them in adopting our beautiful, 29 year old daughter, and it is fun now to read about their experiences which were similar, but not exactly like ours. I have found it hard to explain fully to my daughter our journey and mission to adopt her. But Jean has helped me with this by writing this book. She has a special knack for putting into words, and in her writing, the many feelings and thoughts of parents. Her love and compassion for children shows through in many delightful anecdotes (I found my self laughing out loud while reading the section on 'teen' challenges) but I also appreciate her no-nonsense approach to child rearing in general. Much of what she writes about applies to any family, international or regular. The challenges of the 70s, 80s and 90s raising kids, were tough. But discussing the challenges never seems to take away from the main message of the book, that children are treasures to be protected, nourished and cherished in a family.
