Let's Read "You Should Be Grateful" Together!
<p>If you’re reading this, I already know something important about you: You care. You’re willing to engage with adoptee perspectives in a way that so many people aren’t. And for that, I’m deeply grateful. </p><p>Because you’re here, I know that you understand that adoption isn’t a simple “happily ever after.” You know that love is important, but it’s not a substitute for racial identity, community, or space to process loss. But, perhaps you haven’t gotten around to reading my book, <em>You Should Be Grateful! </em> I want to invite you to dig deeper with me through a <strong>self-paced book club</strong>—a space designed to challenge old narratives and build something better.
