"International adoption in particular is controversial because it raises complex issues of culture and privilege. It demands that we face the abysmal circumstances in which many of the world's people live, circumstances that can include deep poverty, lack of medical care and social services, unaccountable governments, malnutrition, fractured families, alcoholism and drug addiction, and even abuse and neglect."
This sounds like it would be a good read.. I love reading about things that can make a difference and things that play a huge part in the lives of everyday people. Thanks for sharing!

This sounds like an important book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it is important to a target audience. Don't think that's me though. Hope you enjoy it. My Teaser
ReplyDeleteI imagine this would be an interesting read. I don't know that I agree that the reason given is why international adoption is controversial. At least not on its own and in its entirety. It's much more complicated than that. I imagine the author goes into that though. I hope, anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteAdoption in general is such a touchy subject depending on who you're speaking with. This sounds like an informative and important read.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting read that will leave you feeling empowered to make a difference. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI read My Secret Sister recently and one of the twins adopted from an impoverished, war-torn, European country, Your teaser brings up an interesting point but surely the important thing is to give a child a chance in life? Something to certainly read and think about. Here's my teaser from way the other end of the spectrum from yours: wp.me/p3Nz8P-A9
