The ADOPTION PARADOX by Jean Widner
is a powerful, educative and thought provoking read, deserving of the five star rating.
Like an onion, she peels away the layers of assumptions, misconceptions, and romance that surrounds adoption and its impact on all involved in the adoption triad, thereby encouraging change through understanding.
Through intense research, sharing of personal insights and struggles, inclusion of hundreds of real life stories and lived experiences by interview, expert testament and historical examples, she provides insightful awareness of adoption complexities, challenging our preconceived notions.
Jean’s writing is clear, truthful and engaging. Her narrative style is so compelling that it not only shifted my perspective, but touched my heart in such a way that I often cried while reading.
The Adoption Paradox is a crucial read not only for those involved in the adoption triad, but also their extended family, teachers, clergy members, adoption facilitators, members of the mental health profession, lawmakers and those pondering adoption.
