Børn og unge: personlige og sociale emner: adoption

Joan Rang Christensens debut genudgives i nyt omslag og format.

Med denne bog ”Tvangsfjernelse og bortadoption af børn og unge i praksis” får forældre, børn og unge - og andre med interesse for emnet - en praktisk og lettilgængelig indføring i et område, der ellers kan være svært at få et overblik over. Samtidig øser de tre forfattere ud af deres viden om hvordan en sag bedst håndteres. Deres mangeårige erfaring både indenfor og udenfor murene i kommuner, ankestyrelsen og ved domstolene skinner klart igennem. Der gives masser af gode råd, vejledning og staldtips til både hvad man skal gøre og måske ikke gøre undervejs i en sag. Noget som de fleste klart vil kunne bruge i deres egen sag, hvis bogen læses i den sammenhæng. Sager om tvangsfjernelser og bortadoption er voldsomt indgribende ikke kun for de direkte involverede, men for hele familien og omgangskredsen, hvorfor den oplagt også kan benyttes mere bredt. Bogen er en opfølger på Lars Buurgaard Sørensens bog fra 2018 med titlen ”Tvangsfjernelse af børn og unge i praksis”. De øvrige forfattere Martin Olsgaard og Allan Schmidt har sat deres tydelige præg på bogen, bl.a. sådan at den nu også kan anvendes i forhold til at blive klogere på sager om bortadoption og sager omfattet af ungdomskriminalitetsnævnet. Med denne bog er man klædt bedre på til mødet med kommunens sagsbehandlere og andre af de professionelle, som man typisk støder på. De mest vigtige lovregler på området er medtaget, så man altid har dem ved hånden. Jeg kan varmt anbefale den nye bog, som altid er god at have ved sig, uanset hvor man befinder sig i et sagsforløb.

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 FRA Det 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.

After leaving Uncle Chester's homestead claim, orphan Hattie Brooks throws a lasso around a new dream, even bigger than the Montana sky. She wants to be a reporter, knowing full well that a few pieces published in the Arlington News will not suffice. Real reporters must go to Grand Places, and do Grand Things, like Hattie's hero Nellie Bly. Another girl might be stymied by this, but Hattie has faced down a hungry wolf and stood up to a mob of angry men. Nothing can squash her desire to write for a big city newspaper. A letter and love token from Uncle Chester's old flame in San Francisco fuels that desire and Hattie jumps at the opportunity to get there by working as a seamstress for a traveling acting troupe. This could be her chance to solve the mystery of her "scoundrel" uncle and, in the process, help her learn more about herself. But Hattie must first tell Charlie that she will not join him in Seattle. Even though her heart approves of Charlie's plan for their marriage, her mind fears that saying yes to him would be saying no to herself. Hattie holds her own in the big city, literally pitching her way to a byline, and a career that could be even bigger than Nellie Bly's. But can making headlines compensate for the pain of betrayal and lost love? Hattie must dig deep to find her own true place in the world. Kirby Larson once again creates a lovingly written novel about the remarkable and resilient young orphan, Hattie Inez Brooks.
