Adopted Adapted

I recently came across a website with a remarkable 'comic' book called 'Adopted Adapted'. I have comic book in parentheses because it isn't your average comic book. The illustrations are black and white, simple drawings but the words share from deep in the heart of a child who was adopted. Interspersed in the comic work are pages of thoughts pertaining to the topics.

This new fully-illustrated adoption book is both funny and meaningful . "Adopted Adapted, Parents e-Edition" is written for everyone involved in adoption (adoptees (young and old), adoptive parents, birth parents, and social workers). It brings consciousness to the situation of the inner adopted child.
Mine arrived yesterday (they are slow on shipping so don't panic) and it was wonderful. The writer really illustrates his feelings in a very powerful way. This is a tremendous CD that delivers great messages. This is something as an parent I found helpful and I think teenagers would find this interesting as well. It could be used to open a dialogue about adoption with a teenager as well.

Read more and buy Adopted Adapted, Parents e-Edition at www.adoptedlife.com/ComicBook.htm. If you do purchase the comic book, please let me know your thoughts.
