Items related to How It Feels to Be Adopted
In these wonderfully straightforward accounts of what it means to children to be adopted, nineteen boys and girls, from eight to sixteen years old—and from every social background—confide their feelings about this crucial fact of their lives. It is deeply affecting to listen to these children as they reveal their questions, frustrations, difficulties, and joys with an honesty that is immediate, convincing, and stirring. Their generosity will provide solace and strength for thousands of other children who share with them the experience of being adopted—and who will be helped to understand that their own emotions are normal and appropriate.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. Jill Krementz (Author-Photographer) (illustrator). First Edition, 3rd Printing of 1992. BRAND NEW COPY. Reference & resource. Reflections, pleasure and mis-givings of 19 boys and girls, from age 8 - 16 from every social background, confide their feelings about being adopted --- that unique status of being taken into a family as a child of one's own but less biological connections. Deeply sensitive book. Interviewed children had complete support to speak their minds from their adoptive parents, and not the least, both adoptive parents and the adopted children, reviewed the finished chapters before publication. Self-portraits at a certain moment in time, painted with hues of the moment, excellent reference and resource for families in same situations absent Jill Krementz's empathy, adoptive parents bent on striving to be otherwise, and most important, young adoptees less open and verbal --- if nothing else, an opening of channels of dialogue and bearing of souls for all who are related with adoption.
