I'm Adopted: A Positive Explanation of Adoption

Adoption is a loving, selfless act and this book's aim is to explain the concept of adoption in a simple, honest and positive way. There is also the aim to educate kids at an early age about different family types and structures (i.e., single parents, blended families, etc.) in a way that is accessible for all readers to understand and relate to.

Our goal is that, at an early age, kids will start to expect more than they know, as well as give kids a chance to see their own family structure, even if they may not fit in the mold of what is considered a traditional family.

Scott Howcroft & Sean Hale are spouses and parents to their two amazing kids, and they both have psychology as the base of their educations.Scott graduated from the University of Toronto with a BSc in psychology and is currently pursuing his master's. Scott has always been involved in the arts, from painting to acting, and now as a writer.Sean has his BA and master's in psychology. He worked in education and human resources before opening his own counselling practice. There is a real challenge for adoptive parents to explain to their kids what it means to be adopted, while preserving their child's self-esteem. There is a toxic narrative in the world around adoption that doesn't serve adopted children, the people who allow their children to be adopted, or the parents who are fortunate enough to get to adopt these kids. Our goal is to help reframe what it means to be adopted and reinforce how wonderful and valued these children are from the moment they are born.
