Joan Rang Christensens debut genudgives i nyt omslag og format.

DINE FORÆLDRE ER JO IKKE DINE RIGTIGE FORÆLDRE DU HAR DA RET TIL AT KENDE DIN GENETIK DU MÅ HAVE DET SVÆRT MED AT VIDE, AT DU ER BLEVET VALGT FRADet er blot nogle af de overbevisninger, som bogens forfatter, Lisbet Bladbjerg, jævnligt støder på, når hun nævner, at hun er adopteret. Men for hende og mange andre, der ikke har samme biologi som deres forældre, svarer de overbevisninger ikke til virkeligheden. For dem er den familie, de er vokset op sammen med, naturligvis den eneste rigtige.Igennem ærlige og modige fortællinger giver de medvirkende i GAVEBARN et nuanceret billede af adoption og donation og udfordrer frygten for at fortælle børn sandheden om, hvordan de blev til. Mød ud over Lisbet et forældrepar, der har fået hjælp af en sæddonor, to familier, der har fået hjælp af en ægdonor, og to brødre, der først som voksne fik at vide, at deres far ikke var deres biologiske far.GAVEBARN er en tankevækkende bog for alle, der enten selv er eller har fået et gavebarn, samt alle med interesse for, at der er flere måder at få børn på end at lave dem selv. Den stiller skarpt på gavebørns selvforståelse, forældre som ærlige rollemodeller og et samfund, som er udfordret af dalende fertilitet. Budskabet er klart: Hvis gavebørn allerede fra barnsben kender sandheden om, hvordan de er blevet til, har vi ikke længere brug for at definere familier udelukkende ud fra et genetisk fællesskab. Lad os ryste posen med overbevisninger og få nye omtanker om adoption og donation.

I dette eventyr inviteres du ind i Eventyrskovens magiske uni - vers, hvor Benny Bjørn begiver sig ud på en spændende rejse i skoven for at finde det donordyr, der hjalp ham med at kom - me til verden. Undervejs møder han tre forskellige dyr i skoven, som hver giver ham tre værdifulde indsigter, han senere vil bru - ge til at forstå, hvad ægte kærlighed i virkeligheden er. Bogen henvender sig især til donorbørn, adoptivbørn og børn fra forskellige familiekonstellationer, herunder regnbuefamilier. Med dens budskab om den moderne families mangfoldighed, og kærlighedens styrke, vil den uden tvivl være til glæde og gavn for alle børn og voksne. Den fortæller om det paradoks, at det i dag er helt ’’almindeligt’’ at være opvokset under en ’’anderledes’’ fa - miliekonstellation, som disse børn kan spejle sig i. Bogen udforsker temaer som nysgerrighed, tolerance, (k)ærlig - hed, relationer og diversitet og er inspireret af forfatterens egen familiekonstellation, hvor både mor og far er kørestolsbrugere, og deres treårige søn er donorbarn.

"Try and Trust" is a novel written by Horatio Alger, Jr., an American author known for his popular 19th-century works of juvenile fiction. The book was first published in 1874 and is one of Alger's many novels that follow a similar theme of rags-to-riches stories and the virtues of hard work, determination, and perseverance. In "Try and Trust," the protagonist is a young man named Mark Manning, who faces various challenges and obstacles in his life. He encounters hardships and adversity but remains committed to his values of honesty and hard work. Through his efforts and determination, he ultimately finds success and prosperity. The book is a typical example of the moral and social values prevalent in Alger's novels, where individuals who work diligently and maintain their integrity are rewarded in the end. Alger's stories often focus on the American Dream and the idea that anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve success through their own efforts. Alger's works were highly popular during his lifetime and continue to be studied and appreciated for their portrayal of American ideals and the self-made individual. While the writing style and societal values of his time may seem somewhat outdated by today's standards, his books offer insight into the aspirations and beliefs of the 19th-century American culture.
