Adoption Reunion in the Social Media Age, An Anthology
(Editor: Laura Dennis)
(Editor: Laura Dennis)
This anthology gives voice to the wide experiences of
adoptees and those who love them; examining the emotional, psychological and
logistical effects of adoption reunion. Primarily adult adoptee voices, we also
hear from adoptive parents, first moms and mental health professionals, all
weighing in on their experience with reunion. The stories run the gamut, and I
think even non-adopted people are likely to find something in here to which they
can relate. The memories of adoption reunion in this anthology are joyous and
regretful; nostalgic and fresh; angry and accepting. They show pain, but they
also tell of resilience and strength in the face of incredible loss.
In short, the essays of this anthology relate the human experience: raw, resilient, and most of all real.

This anthology is a collection of writings by the authors of
the Lost Daughters blog.
Lost Daughters is an independent, collaborative writing
project that was founded in 2011 in an effort to give an accessible writing
platform for adopted women. Boasting nearly 30 authors, Lost Daughters is
written and edited entirely by adopted women, several of whom balance multiple
roles in adoption and foster care along with being adopted. The blog’s name was
inspired by author and adoptee B.J. Lifton’s concept of one's self becoming lost
and found throughout the experience of being adopted.
The mission is to bring readers the perspectives and narratives of adopted women, and to highlight their strength, resiliency, and wisdom--to critically discuss the positives and negatives of the adoption institution from a place of empowerment and peace. The authors come from all walks of life and have a variety of worldviews, religions, political stances, types of adoption, countries of origin, and countries of residence.
