Reviews
Robin K. Fox has compiled an anthology that is not only essential reading for those who provide educational support, this book is also a much-needed resource for the adoption community itself. Dr. Fox uses the lived experiences of our community to create a multi-layered literary tapestry-one that allows readers to truly examine the many intersectionalities that we all have. Read this book, gain insight on better supporting others, and learn something about yourself along the way. -Brent T. Wright, Chief Operating Officer of the Family Equality Council This book is a unique compilation of essays representing the lived and professional experiences of teacher educators who have diverse connections to adoption. This is an honest, eye-opening, and insightful read for those (e.g., educators, clinicians, and medical professionals) who work with individuals who are adopted and their families. The stories shared not only include resources and ideas, but the rich individualized narratives make for an accessible and heartfelt text about expanded notions of adoption, children, and family that will universally and personally resonate with any reader. -Rachel H. Farr, Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Kentucky There are a number of reasons I strongly recommend this book. It offers a broad range of perspectives from people (educators) whose voices have been largely absent from the literature about adoption, and it provides insights in a personal and often powerful way. The primary reason I'm delighted Robin K. Fox has put together this volume, however, is this: It expands a conversation about our children that is important, necessary, and long overdue. -Adam Pertman, President and CEO of the National Center on Adoption and Permanency The extended family of adoption represents some of our most complex relationships and diverse family structures of today. To ensure emotional safety and the best conditions to embrace learning, the children connected to these families must be met with empathetic and understanding educators and professionals. In bringing together the voices of those closest to adoption, Dr. Robin K. Fox has created an essential tool and `required reading' for the educational community. -April Dinwoodie, transracially adopted person, creator of the Born in June, Raised in April podcast, and educational consultant
