From the Author
The first feminist book on adoption & a literary anthology
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 adoption; international adoption; lesbian families; single parent adoptions; bi-racial adoptees; reunions; open records;special needs children and foster parenting. This is a wonderful "gift book" for birth mothers, adoptees, adoptive families and for clinicians and administrators in the adoption field. The book has been favorably reviewed by major adoption organizations (AAC, Adoption, PACT, Roots & Wings, Chain of Life, etc) and by academic/women's studies journals alike. [Library Journal, The Women's Review of Books, etc]. The Women's Press just issued the British Editoin of the book in September, 1996. This has become the best-selling book at adoption conferences nation-wide and is being "adopted" by women's literature and family studies courses through-out the USA and Canada.
