As if I was a real boy eBook only
When Jeannie adopted Gordon, their new family would not be without its problems. Gordon was 10 years old, and had been living in a psychiatric hospital for three years, with undiagnosed mental health issues. Jeannie was adopting as a single parent, with all the challenges this can bring. But together, they built a loving family.
In this moving account, published as part of the Our Story series, mother and son look back on how the adoption came to be, and how both their lives were changed for the better.
This book is for anyone who is interested in the adoption experience and how this feels for the people involved.

Reviews
This is essential reading for prospective adopters and adoptive parents. As a teacher, Jeannie’s perspective on Gordon’s education and their experiences of learning also makes this book highly useful for education practitioners. This book is an excellent read and so compelling that I finished it in one sitting. On finishing it, I wanted to turn back to the beginning and start reading it again!
