If you're the White parent of a transracially or internationally adopted child, you may have been told that if you try your best and work your hardest, good intentions and a whole lot of love will be enough to give your child the security, attachment, and nurturing family life they need to thrive. The only problem? It's not true. What White Parents Need to Know About Transracial Adoption breaks down the dynamics that frequently fly under the radar of the whitewashed, happily-ever-after adoption stories we hear so often.

This is a rant. Not an informative book.

I wanted to like it...
Revisado: 03-04-22
I really wanted to like this book and honestly, there were some incredible points, acknowledged pitfalls, and information. I write this understanding the real possibility of this be weaponized against me...but as much as I tried, I couldn't finish this book. The author has an incredibly hard story which has caused her real, valid trauma for herself. This as a whole, had the potential (which was met to a degree) to give incredible insight. However, it did create space for it to lean heavily towards the author's personal biases. I understand the why behind it...however, it did present a very real obstacle on a subject that was already sensitive. This wasn't the point of no return for me, it just made it a harder read, as I was forced to pickup each statement, trying to understand what was an incredibly valid statement, and what was a personal prejudice of her own. I could have done this, as much of the content on privilege, maintaining culture, the why's behind adoption, internal corruption in the process, and a larger need for birth parent reconciliation were all great topics. However, when abortion is contended as a helpful alternative to adoption...I'm heart broken over this and couldn't continue anymore. I wanted to like it. There ARE valid points within it and valid hurts and experiences that the author has gone through. I was just hoping for a book that would be able to walk through the stumbling blocks and best practices of parenting through adoption, without having to vet many statements made.
