ABOUT JANINE'S JOURNEY THROUGH ADOPTIONLAND
Want a short escape from reality but need to keep your head on straight? These books by Janine have been called "entertaining," "insightful," and even "mind-blowing" by readers all over the world.

"I BELIEVE INFORMATION IS YOUR SECRET SUPERPOWER." ~ JANINE
Twins Found in a Box: Adapting to Adoption reveals her personal childhood experience. Then, Janine and her twin take the reader with them to South Korea in the book The Search for Mother Missing to seek out their roots and their birth family. During her trip to South Korea, she hears the "unknown" voices told by other Korean-born adoptees. Once back in the States, she listens to the voices of domestic, late-discovery, transracial, and overseas adoptees. She spends two decades researching the history of adoption from around the world and is astounded by what she discovers. She believes you will be too.
During her journey through the land of adoption, she realizes that most books are written by adoptive parents and for young children. For this reason, she wrote a few books intended to empower adopted people, advocates, activists, and allies. She believes you will be as astounded at what she has found during her twenty-five-year deep-dive into the diverse yet unified land of adult adoptees.
“This book provides incredible wisdom, touching tales and deep understanding. I highly recommend this book!”
