Shared Fate

  • Kirk, H. David

“Shared Fate went beyond telling the truth about the adoptive family as different from a mythical ‘normal’ family of two parents with children created by them. It went further by showing that ‘difference’ could serve the adoptive family as an asset. Thus, when parents close ranks with their children’s atypical status in society by acknowledging their own atypical status, they help to create a family of strong parent-child bonds. This discovery derived from ten years of meticulous researches involving some 2,000 adoptive families in Canada and the United States.”
“Shared Fate has stood the test of time. Even though new forms of adoption have emerged and become numerically dominant, the book’s findings remain pertinent for all the parties involved: adoptive parents, adoptees, birthparents, social agencies and the courts.”
