About This Item
New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988. First Edition, 3rd Printing of 1992 . Soft cover. New/None as Issued. Jill Krementz (Author-Photographer). BRAND NEW COPY. Reference & resource. Reflections, pleasure and mis-givings of 19 boys and girls, from age 8 - 16 from every social background, confide their feelings about being adopted --- that unique status of being taken into a family as a child of one's own but less biological connections. Deeply sensitive book. Interviewed children had complete support to speak their minds from their adoptive parents, and not the least, both adoptive parents and the adopted children, reviewed the finished chapters before publication. Self-portraits at a certain moment in time, painted with hues of the moment, excellent reference and resource for families in same situations absent Jill Krementz's empathy, adoptive parents bent on striving to be otherwise, and most important, young adoptees less open and verbal --- if nothing else, an opening of channels of dialogue and bearing of souls for all who are related with adoption.
