You'll love these must-read adoption books for adults geared specifically for you or someone you know who is adopted.

These books by Janine paint a very realistic picture of all aspects of adoption, including the hidden side-effects.  You will find rare global perspectives in many categories: research, politics, history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, spiritual, and religious roots. Never before in history (and herstory) or the field of adoption, has one author bravely taken on such a wide lens and a rEvolutionary study of the practice.

Choose any one book from this expansive collection and you will discover another layer of deeper understanding. Among other reviews, her work has been called, "mind-blowing" and "highly recommended" by adoptees, and "powerfully revealing and enlightening" by non-adoptees.

This collection of books is designed to be enjoyed by fellow adoptees. They will know a community exists and thus feel validated embellished by the awareness that we are no longer alone.
