As laws and attitudes change around adoptees’ rights, from contact with birth families to connection with birth cultures, we have a chance to tell truer and more inclusive stories.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Deborah Dundas is one of Canada's most respected journalists, covering arts, culture, and news in the pages of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eToronto Star\u003c\/i\u003e for more than three decades.

For others, it comes with lifelong questions, and sometimes, significant pain. In these interviews, which include discussions with writer John Irving, author and academic Jenny Heijin Wills, and former Cabinet Minister Marilyn Churley, Dundas shines a light on our evolving understanding of how families come in many forms and how adoption is not the end of a story but rather, a beginning that encompasses as many possible outcomes as any family tale.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48698878984447,"sku":"9781668012321","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781668012321_s600x595.png?v=1781632027","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781668012321","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
