Adoption is a transformational process bringing parenthood to those
who long for but cannot bear children and giving stranded children
home, family, and their place in the world. But every adoption is
preceded and followed by its story and when these stories are told
in the offices of psychotherapists we begin to understand the
impact of adoption in all its complexity. We learn from parents how
their quest to have and raise a child has played out in real life,
and what shadows might have fallen between the dream and the
reality. And we learn from the children the many ways that being
adopted shaped their development, their sense of identity; what
went wrong along the way and how we may help. Clinical work with
parents and children as well as with adults who were adopted is the
focus of Understanding Adoption. Because adoption has become widely
practiced, accepted, and accessible, and because it has greatly
changed the composition of families, it is a timely subject for
study. The authors of this book undertake exploration of this
important terrain of loss and connection, and of the fragility and
resilience of human bonds.
