Scott Simon, host of NPR’s Weekend Edition, recently released a book recounting his families experience with adoption. In Baby, We Were Meant For Each Other, Simon paints a picture of family life that is intense, heart-warming and real.
“One of the beautiful aspects of this book is that it explores this idea of belonging through adoption, without limiting the type of adoption. We see families that adopted infants domestically; families that adopted young children internationally; families of one color adopting children of another color; families that adopted their children’s children. The limitless power of love and inclusion.” - Source: Chicago Now
Simon and his wife adopted two little girls from China after they were unable to have biological children. He tells his family’s story, and the stories of so many others, in the hopes of encouraging others to consider adoption as well. And at a time when the media is telling so many negative stories, some good news is just what adoption advocates were hoping for.
