The colours in me
What do adopted children and young people really feel about being adopted? How do they feel about being parted from birth parents and siblings and, for some, their country of birth? In this unique collection of poetry, prose and artwork, 80 contributors tell it like it is. Intensely moving, it reveals how it feels and what it means to be adopted. With extraordinary clarity and candour, the contributors – ranging from 4 to 20 years of age – describe the huge changes that adoption brings and the impact on their identity, relationships and understanding of the meaning of “family”.
This is a moving, thought provoking book and a must read for anyone who wants to know how children think and feel about adoption, and how this can influence social work policy and practice.
This child-centred book is for anyone who is interested in adoption and children’s thoughts and feelings about this, whether professionally or personally.
