With a triadic perspective, this autoethnographic narrative
explores the temporal, situated nature of interactions between the
author as an adoptee with her adult adopted children as well as
those between herself and her birth father and mother. The
epiphanic adoptive family narratives that are foregrounded seek to
deepen and challenge understanding of how kinship affinities are
experienced. The autoethnographic narratives are written in a
critical, evocative style which is valuable for two reasons.
Firstly, the processes of reflexive self-introspection,
self-observation and dialogue with relational others have
established a critical connection between recognising and
responding to kinship affinities and personal growth. Secondly,
lying at the intersection of the self and other this narrative
contributes to deepening insights around epistemic in/justice in
adoptive kinship. This book will be of interest to educators and
scholars of adoption in offering an insider perspective on unique
family relationships as well as how the author undertakes critical
evocative autoethnography. Adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth
parents will also find the narratives in Part II of this book of
particular interest in informing an understanding of kin
relationships and how these may be subject to change over time.
