A wonderfully creative, informative, and ultimately empowering book for adopted children and their families. Aristotle, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs - I'm honored to be included in such a varied and illustrious collection of adoptees!' - Sarah Saffian, author of Ithaka: A Daughter's Memoir of Being Found 'Adopted Like Me is a great book that expands what ''adopted'' means to include relative/kinship care and guardianships as well as traditional adoption. It will be a great starting point for discussing adoption in families and will help children and youth to understand that no matter how they joined their families, they are loved and cherished. Ann Angel has both deepened our understanding of adoption and shown what a diverse mix of people have shaped our world. This is not only a family lesson - it is also a great history lesson of the good that happens when people are loved.' - Colleen Ellingson, CEO, Coalition for Children, Youth & Families, USA
