Reveals the candid thoughts and feelings of those most directly
involved in adoptions: the adoptee, the adopters, and the birth
parents. Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee),
Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden
(adoptive parent) interview more than 30 adoptees, 20 birth
parents, a dozen adoptive parents, and several industry
professionals—all sharing candidly about the challenges in
adoption. While finding common ground in the sometimes-contentious
space of adoption may seem like a lofty goal, it reveals the
authors’ optimistic aim: working together with truth and
transparency to move toward healing. Flipping the typical script,
in which adoptive parents take the lion’s share of the narrative,
this book leads with adoptee stories then moves on to stories of
challenges and perspectives of birth parents—so often
marginalized and silent. The third section offers narratives from
adoptive parents who are working through their unique challenges.
We also hear from adoption professionals, who share the challenges
of operating ethically amid rampant unethical practices in the
unregulated world of finding infants and children for homes.
Finally, we hear from activists and adoption-competent therapists,
offering their ideas to make adoption policies and practices better
for all involved. Adoption is a beautiful experience but has
challenges just like any other relationship or family system. The
unique perspectives found here can help to smooth out the rough
spots, celebrate the joys, and provide comfort and confirmation for
everyone involved in the adoption journey.
