No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781737536802

Picked Placed & Chosen is Debra Garner's autobiographical poem about discovering the love surrounding her from birth to being a grandmother.

Debra shares her intimate story of learning to understand the love her birth mother had to give her up for adoption. She describes her adoptive family's love and the gift of being reunited with her birth siblings and the siblings she gained through adoption.

One of her poems describes her conflicting emotions of meeting her birth parents shortly before their deaths.

It is clear Debra's life is made strong through her relationship with Jesus. She describes how her experience in first being given up for adoption and then being adopted has impacted everything she does.

Journaling pages at the end of the book prompt the reader to discover their life story with encouraging words from the author.

Gorgeous illustrations by Tori Meyer increase the power of Debra's evocative poetry.

Picked Placed & Chosen is for anyone who has been adopted, given up for adoption or is an adoptive parent.

Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child
<p>This multidisciplinary volume offers an essential, comprehensive study of perspectives on the scope and application of the best interests of the child and focuses mainly on its application in relation to child custody.</p><p>With expert contributions from psychological, sociological and legal perspectives, it offers scientific analysis and debate on whether it should be the primary consideration in deciding child custody cases in cases of divorce or separation or whether it should be one of several primary considerations. It explores complex dilemmas inherent in shared parenting and whether the advantages it offers children are sufficient when compared to attributing custody to one parent and limiting visitation rights of the other. Offering a comprehensive analysis of this complex topic, chapters provide detailed insight into the current state of research in this area, as well as expert guidelines aimed at resolving the controversies when parents agree or disagree over their children's living arrangements. Cutting-edge topics explored include: transnational shared parenting&#x3b; alternative dispute resolution&#x3b; breastfeeding parents&#x3b; religious disputes between parents and the psychological, social and economic factors that affect shared parenting.</p><p>The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child will be essential reading for scholars and graduate students in law, psychology, sociology and economics interested in shared parenting and family law.</p>
