Tentang eBook ini

Ever wondered what it's like to be adopted? This anthology begins with personal accounts and then shifts to a bird's eye view on adoption from domestic, intercountry and transracial adoptees who are now adoptee rights activists. Along with adopted people, this collection also includes the voices of mothers and a father from the Baby Scoop Era, a modern-day mother who almost lost her child to adoption, and ends with the experience of an adoption investigator from Against Child Trafficking. These stories are usually abandoned by the very industry that professes to work for the "best interest of children," "child protection," and for families. However, according to adopted people who were scattered across nations as children, these represent typical human rights issues that have been ignored for too long. For many years, adopted people have just dealt with such matters alone, not knowing that all of us—as a community—have a great deal in common.

Tentang pengarang

Janine is best known as the co-editor of two groundbreaking anthologies: Adoptionland: From Orphans to Activists and The "Unknown" Culture Club: Korean Adoptees, Then and Now.

Janine has written several feature-length screenplays about transnational adoption and authored two books about the experience of searching for her family in Korea (Twins Found in a Box: Adapting to Adoption and The Search for Mother Missing: A Peek Inside International Adoption).

Janine supports Against Child Trafficking’s (ACT) investigational work into unethical adoptions. She and her twin sister co-founded Adoptionland.org and the "Adoption Truth & Transparency Worldwide Network," a social-media resource intended to validate and empower individuals, families, and communities affected by the global adoption industry.
