Some books I found helpful in the study of adoption listed below:
The Language of Blood by Jane Jeong Trenka
Outsiders Within: Writing on Transracial Adoption edited by Jane Jeong Trenka
Mothering Without A Compass: White Mother’s Love, Black Son’s Courage by Becky Thompson
Thanks very much.
Have you read Searching for Charmian, by Suzanne Chick? I found it a powerful read, but I’m not adopted so can only respond as someone imagining not knowing.
I haven’t but I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Glad to be of service. I think you’ll like it. I hope so.
