As a transracial adoptive mom, I was very interested in reading this account of a transracial adoptive family formed in the 1970s. There was a lot of white saviorism and lofty ideals. So much so that I didn't make it very far trying to read it in print. I ended up waiting until my library had it on audio. It was much more palatable to me in that format. I wanted to know more about the adoptees' perspectives on what their parents did right and wrong in terms of transracial parenting. Because the author was one of the couple's white biological children, there wasn't really any information from the Black and Asian adoptees' perspectives. I wish there would have been at least a chapter from some of the author's siblings so their voices were part of this story. 

Thank you to W. W. Norton & Company, Liveright, and NetGalley for a review copy of this title.
