In November, I have been tasked with reading a book to do with my chosen topic of Adoption. I have chosen to read "Adoption Nation: How the Adoption Revolution is Transforming Our Families-and America" by Adam Pertman. This book explores the history and impact of adoption, using real stories from participants about their struggles in adoption. I chose this book because it appears to deal with the impact of adoption rather than just a step by step guide about the adoption process, and includes genuine adoption stories.
A few questions I hope to answer by the end of the book:
- What is the overall impact adoption is having on the world, postive or negative?
- What are some myths surrounding adoption?
- How can we help dispel some of those myths?
- What are common struggles faced by adoptive families?
- How can we help support adoptive families as they face struggles resulting from adoption?
