Sunday afternoon we hosted the Guatadopt Book Group to talk about the novel “Any Other Family” by Eleanor Brown. You know a book resonates with us when we spend an hour parsing the first discussion question: “What does the term ‘family’ mean to you?’”
I met the group 10+ years ago when they invited me to discuss my memoir “Mamalita.” Within minutes of sharing our stories I knew: “These are my people.” We’re still here more than a decade later, growing, supporting and learning from one another as our kids mature into teens and adults.
Becoming a mother through adoption has expanded my life in ways too many to count, including this one. I found my tribe.
