Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
The author continues her journey through her beloved Colombia with this companion book to Twice Colombia. With a dream to return there on a permanent basis, she watches that dream slowly fade as the housing market in the US tanks, a destructive hurricane rolls in, and efforts to sell her house are unsuccessful. For the first time since her son's tragic death, she recalls his memory in detail and allows herself to grieve again. As she details some painful experiences, she also remembers the joy and hope his challenging adoption in Colombia brought her. She travels back to the country several times - for a family wedding, a class reunion at Colegio Bolvar and the book launch for Dos Veces en Colombia. The food, the music, the people, and the majestic Andes never loosen their grip on her. When she accepts that her relationship with Colombia has simply taken a different twist, she opens herself to possibilities of new adventures. She accepts that old dreams sometimes have to be replaced with new dreams, but there will never be any doubt that her love affair with Colombia will always hold that special place in her heart as her first love.

Twice Colombia
Author: Patricia L. WoodardPublisher: Trafford Publishing

Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Twice Colombia is the story of a young woman from a small southern town who follows a dream and finds herself living and working on a plateau high in the Andes Mountains of Colombia, SA. Part memoir, part travelogue, it’s a tale of adventure, friendship, and adoption set against the capital city of Bogotá and the lively city of Cali during the seventies and eighties. A dream to see the world and a curiosity about foreign cultures, and plain old good fortune, along with seized opportunities, all played a part in helping her discover a country that hasn’t always had the best press releases. A tribute, above all, to the culture of an often-misunderstood country, Twice Colombia tells a personal story of discovering and acknowledging the remarkable value of each other’s life experiences.

Belonging in an Adopted World
Author: Barbara YngvessonPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226964485
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Since the early 1990s, transnational adoptions have increased at an astonishing rate, not only in the United States, but worldwide. In Belonging in an Adopted World, Barbara Yngvesson offers a penetrating exploration of the consequences and implications of this unprecedented movement of children, usually from poor nations to the affluent West. Yngvesson illuminates how the politics of adoption policy has profoundly affected the families, nations, and children involved in this new form of social and economic migration. Starting from the transformation of the abandoned child into an adoptable resource for nations that give and receive children in adoption, this volume examines the ramifications of such gifts, especially for families created through adoption and later, the adopted adults themselves. Bolstered by an account of the author’s own experience as an adoptive parent, and fully attuned to the contradictions of race that shape our complex forms of family, Belonging in an Adopted World explores the fictions that sustain adoptive kinship, ultimately exposing the vulnerability and contingency behind all human identity.
