Adopcion Explicada a MIS Hijos = Explaining Adoption to My Children [Spanish]

By Fernando Baeta

Cuando adoptar un beb? termina siendo la ?nica manera posible de integrarse plenamente como familia, se est? asumiendo una tremenda responsabilidad social y humana. Los padres que decidan dar ese important?simo paso, tendr?n que acoger el principio de la transparencia en cuanto al tema como pilar sobre el que ser?a edificada una convivencia sana y feliz. El proceso, a veces, se vuelve engorroso y burocr?tico, pero la espera hace disfrutar con m?s placer el resultado final. La adopci?n es un fen?meno que se da mucho m?s frecuentemente de lo que algunas personas suponen, por lo que existe la suficiente literatura asociada a la materia. Casi todos los especialistas coinciden en el criterio acerca de la necesidad de esclarecer en el hogar los or?genes del nuevo integrante. Con los a?os, adem?s, llegar? el momento de enfrentar al nuevo hijo con su propia realidad.

Excellent!

I am the bio daughter of my parents (which means I have an adopted sibling) and also an adoptive mother myself. This is by far the best book I have read on adoption. It is written as a letter to the daughter of the author, who happened to be adopted, and answers potential questions she may have in the future. The author also has a bio son. He explains how his love for his children is the same even if they came through different "routes". He has two kids, not an adopted kid and a bio kid. What makes each child special is not how s/he came into the family, but his/her uniqueness. The fact that they were loved so much from the start (i.e. from the moment they decided to have a bio child in one case, and from the moment they decided to adopt, in the other) makes them equal in the eyes of love.This is a feelings book, not a manual. It talks about how he would answer any questions on birthparents, abandonment, racism, certainties (what child, bio or adopted, comes with a guarantee?), paperwork, waiting, and most of all, loving a child unconditionally. Please, if you are considering adoption or have been touched by adoption in any way, read this book.
