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.

Jamal lives in Brooklyn New York, in one of the historic brownstones, with his mother and older brother. Their father was killed in the Iraq war in a helicopter accident. They have this large, amazing mirror, that has been in the family for many years. Jamal's father before he died taught Jamal how to go to the mirror and speak positive and inspirational saying in the mirror because he believes life and death are in the power of the tongue. His father wanted to teach Jamal, that he wasn't alone, and that he was standing in front of powerful Americans and a strong community. The mirror is only a symbol of continued strength his father taught Jamal and his brother

We can't discuss enough how important it is to be comfortable in our own skin. Self esteem plays a major role in our happiness and even our career choices. Our first love should be ourselves. This is to just simply remind you, you are the most pretty.
