If you've been following me for a while, you probably know that I often read books by adoptees and birth parents. I hope that trying to see things from adoptee and birth parent perspectives will help me to be a better adoptive parent. The latest book I have read by an adoptee is this one - "Are You My New Mum?" by Astrid Peerson, who is @authorandmore on Instagram. It's a short, emotional story, which is hard to put down. I read it in one sitting and then spent the next few days thinking about it. Astrid talks about her upbringing and what led to her being taken into foster care. Something I haven't seen in other books is the discussion of sibling contact in foster care and after adoption. Astrid's story talks about her relationships with her siblings, throughout their experiences. It's new out this month, available on Amazon. #bookreview #adoptionbooks #adoptionreadinglist #socialworkreads #socialworkresources #storiesthatmatter #adoptiveparent #adopteestories #adopteestoriesmatter #adoptioncommunityuk https://www.instagram.com/p/ChO097XMiCQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
