The quality of each entry remains high, and the divergent approaches to this task dismantle many assumptions about adoptive processes, well-intentioned white moms, transracial adoptee identity, and family. What’s left is simply spectacular storytelling grounded in lived experiences of loss and love, on long road trips to SoCal snow, elevated to space colonies, illustrated as graphic novels, guided by prophecy, and supportive of those who needs to see these stories in print the most.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of the Center for Children’s Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44890529464549,"sku":"NP9780063144408","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780063144408.jpg?v=1730233501","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/when-we-become-ours-a-ya-adoptee-anthology-isbn-9780063144408","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
