“A family is a family, no matter how it comes to us,” reassures one adoptive father in this luminous and groundbreaking portrait of today’s adoptive families.
Be My Baby is infused with the conviction of adoptive parents that they and their children were meant to be. In their own words, parents consider and speak about how their families came together, and how they’re coming along.
In a section devoted to the thoughts of adopted children from nine to nineteen, kids tell what’s on their minds, and how it feels to be adopted. Whether it’s the many children who say, “I feel really special being adopted,” or the one who observes, “Being adopted teaches you how to handle things, including being adopted,” their wisdom, good sense, and honesty are deeply affecting and empowering to all adoptive children.”
