Description

Twenty leading writers, all adoptive parents, offer evocative, sometimes provocative, personal essays that have the liveliness and immediacy of prose fiction. Categorized in four sections, “Reflections on Birth Parents;” “Encounters with the unexpected;” “Variations on Family;” and “Personal Transformations,” these essays reflect the diversity of adoption in America.
