I wrote a blog for the Children’s Literature Network <\/a>about how this book came out of an email from an editor who knew I write biography and that I’m an adoptive mom four times over. It was a labor of love, a way to make sure my young adults know that I want them to explore the world and pick and choose heroes who will speak to their own talents and interests.\u00a0 But it also speaks to children in kinship care like John Lennon. Kinship care is an informal adoption in which a child is raised by relatives. Marilyn Monroe was raised in guardianship\u00a0after her birth mother became too ill to take care of her.\u00a0Do\u00a0Diddley was adopted and so was Nelson Mandela.\u00a0I loved learning about the people whose stories are included in this book.\u00a0And I hope it’s read by families\u00a0united in adoption\u00a0as well as folks out there who\u00a0hope to learn\u00a0more about adoption\u00a0and being adopted.<\/p>\n

You may have to special order from your local Indie bookstore\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0or you can order this from Amazon <\/a>or Barnes and Noble<\/a>.\u00a0I\u00a0thank you in advance for putting out the word that adopted kids\u00a0turn into adopted heroes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
