Since 2015, Adoptee Reading has been helping adopted people discover books about adoption that are of interest to them.
The website includes a searchable catalog of books, all of which have been recommended by adoptees and most of which are authored by adoptees. The catalog is regularly updated with newly published books as well as with older titles as time permits. Each book listing includes links to critical reviews, highlighting reviews written by other adoptees, as well as to at least one source where the book can be purchased wherever possible.
The website also includes listings of published articles related to specific topics pertinent to the lived experience of adopted people (see Brief Writings in the main menu).
Follow our social media channels (links can be found below) for updates about books added to the Adoptee Reading catalog, as well as notifications about book events and other news from adoptee authors.
Purchase books via the Adoptee Reading affiliate shop on Bookshop to help support this site at no additional cost to you (as a bonus, you’ll also be supporting independent bookstores).
