November is National Adoption Awareness Month and I’m honored to have my essay included in Chicago Now’s 10th annual “30 Adoption Portraits in 30 Days.” The title says it all– “Adoption is the Most Complicated Relationship I’ve Ever Been Involved In”–and I’ve been in a few complicated relationships. Thank you to Carrie Goldman for publishing this essay (and another in 2016) and for her 10 years of raising awareness of adoption with a series that includes all voices of the triad: person who is adopted, birth parent, and adoptive parent.
PS: The post includes a short excerpt from my novel, Mother Mother, that you’ll find at the end. Thanks for reading!
