paperback    ISBN 13: 9781862078574 | ISBN 10: 1862078572

Family Wanted is a valuable collection of 25 predominantly autobiographical stories about adoption. In just simply telling the story of their lives these writers provide us with rich insights into history, society, culture and fomily dynamics, they also allow us to closley observe and ponder the complex mysteries of love and genetics... This book will certainly add to the discussions although it cannot possibly provide any conclusions sonce there can be no absolutes wherever people and emotions are concerned... The stories take you on a roller coaster of emotions... Whoever you are and however your life is affected by adoption you will find elements of yourself within this book...if there is one underlying message that comes across in Family Wanted it is that every experience is unique and therefore every experience is equally valid. This is definitely the sort of book you keep.
