Book Description
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.

Book Description
Based on a true story, Saving Joey Peterson chronicles the life of a boy whose entire world is shattered upon discovering he's adopted. Exposed to pornography at a tender age, he's an impulsive dreamer with trust and self-esteem issues. His adoptive parents struggle with alcoholism making it difficult to battle the forces ripping apart their dysfunctional family. A raging conflict ensues, pitting them against adoption agency and Child Protective Services personnel. Two social workers and a school teacher work feverishly to open an investigation into his parents' abusive conduct hoping to remove Joey from their custody before it's too late. As this powerful drama unfolds, the couple's increasing egocentricity places Joey in more danger. And during a lapse in judgment, they hire a nanny with a secret criminal past and a sexual appetite for little boys. The nanny sets her sights on Joey. And when the Petersons uncover her monstrous scheme, they sweep it under the rug. Abandoned by relatives and teachers, his cries for help are ignored. Left to fend for himself, he grapples with the specter of victimhood. Politically insulated, the Petersons seem untouchable, while Joey cries out for solidarity and justice in his favor. J. B.
