Synopsis
Making Room in Our Hearts - When I look at my daughter's beautiful face, her gorgeous \u003cb\u003ecurly hair\u003c/b\u003e, her \u003cbr\u003e\nexpressive brown eyes, and her olive skin, I see her birth mother and whispers of \u003cbr\u003e\nanother face, possibly her birth father's, someone whom I do not yet know. I say “\u003cbr\u003e\nnot yet” ...Adopted persons face challenges their entire lives as they struggle to answer the most basic question: Who am I? The hope of open adoption is that adopted children will develop stronger identities if they have the opportunity to develop healthy ongoing relationships with their families of origin. Making Room in Our Hearts offers an intimate look at how these relationships evolve over time, with real-life stories from families who have experienced open adoption first-hand. This book helps both adoptive and birth parents address their fears and concerns, while offering them the support to put the child’s psychological and spiritual needs at the center of adoption. Based on interviews with more than one hundred adopted children, birth and adoptive parents, extended families, professionals and experts, the book is an effective and invaluable resource for those considering open adoption, those experiencing it, and professionals in the field. Openness has altered the landscape of adoption, and Making Room in Our Hearts will help us catch up to the reality that is open adoption today.
