I received an advance reader’s copy of Jean Kelly Widner’s, The Adoption Paradox. Jean’s book is an amazing collection of stories from across entire adoption constellation. For me as an adoptee it was powerful to read stories of birth parents and raising parents to have a better feel for their perspectives. Ultimately what i appreciated most in Jeans book was that she not only identified and spoke to many of the problems within adoption but she offered ways to do things better. Our adoption system is terribly broken and in desperate need of an overhaul. Anyone touched by adoption or involved in adoption should read this book.
