Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-24 00:00:00 Brent Greenfield The sentiment behind this book is really beautiful, and the stories and images shared by the families are interesting and lovely. I get the sense, however, that almost all of the families portrayed in this collection are quite affluent, which is not representative of the majority of multicultural families around the world. It seems like most of the families in this book are rich white couples who wanted to make a cultural statement by adopting kids from different cultures. While there's nothing inherently wrong about this type of family-making, it's definitely not the true experience of most multicultural families.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-04 00:00:00 Jon Bitton I thought this was a really useful read as we prepare to adopt a child that will make our family multiracial. I plan to use the pictures to demonstrate to our child that there are other families that look different from each other. I also enjoyed the personal accounts of how being multiracial affected each member of the family. Their honest sharing of their experience was helpful to me and I hope will help our child as well when they are struggling to find their identity.
