In this pioneer issue of The Adoption Constellation magazine, readers will be introduced to our three columnists Maureen, Shelise and Catherine, each writing from their perspective as a birth mother, adopted person, and adoptive mother. In “Professionally Speaking”, two experts in the field of adoption address the same adoption issue. This is one of my favorite features of the magazine, not just because we get the opportunity to benefit from two different perspectives, but because it also illustrates how there is never only one right answer when it comes to adoption and adoption issues. I’m so proud to have Dr. John Raible and Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao participating in this first issue as I know I am not alone in having a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for them both.
We have a beautiful essay from New York Times best selling author Jennifer Lauck’s forthcoming book Found, an interview with adoption pioneer Dr. Richard Boas, and back by popular demand, Adoption Mosaic Executive Director, Astrid Dabbeni will now take your questions in her much loved column “Ask Astrid.” Also, throughout the magazine you will find the artwork of Kellie Marian Hill and Anne Sibley O’Brian, who have both graciously allowed us to include their work.
We begin the magazine with the feature “Two Sides of the Coin” where we examine adoption issues from various angles. Sometimes it takes looking at alternate perspectives to be able to recognize the truth in both of them.
I want to thank all the amazing people who have contributed to The Adoption Constellation. It has been an honor to be amongst such talent, and to the readers, I hope you enjoy this magazine as much as I have enjoyed being a part of creating it.
