When We Become Ours Summary

When We Become Ours: A YA Adoptee Anthology by Shannon Gibney

Two teens take the stage and find their voice. . .

A girl learns about her heritage and begins to find her community. . .

A sister is haunted by the ghosts of loved ones lost. . .

There is no universal adoption experience, and no two adoptees have the same story. This anthology for teens edited by Shannon Gibney and Nicole Chung contains a wide range of powerful, poignant, and evocative stories in a variety of genres.

These tales from fifteen bestselling, acclaimed, and emerging adoptee authors genuinely and authentically reflect the complexity, breadth, and depth of adoptee experiences.

This groundbreaking collection centers what it's like growing up as an adoptee. These are stories by adoptees, for adoptees, reclaiming their own narratives.

  • Kelley Baker
  • Nicole Chung
