Book Reviews of Be My Baby: Parents & Children Talk About Adoption
Book Review: Does not include all types of adoptive families
Summary: 2 Stars
Although this book is well written, I was disappointed that Kinn did not cover all types of adoptive families. Obviously, she had to limit the families she wrote about in some way, however, she neglected to include any gay and lesbian adoptive families. Kinn briefly states in the foreword that she did not include gay and lesbian families because the "children's issues spoke more to their unique family structures than to having been adopted." It is obvious to me though, that all adoptive children, regardless of their "unique family structure," would have some type of thought about the fact that they were adopted. My husband and I are in the process of adopting a child, and we think that the greatest part of adoption is being able to build a beautiful family that goes beyond stereotypes. I really feel that Kinn's decision to neglect certain adoptive children was unfair and biased. If you are going to show the true beauty of adoption, you need not forget the fact that adopting is a way for all types of people to create a family.
