23: Voices of Adopted Youth

In September of 2020, at the end of her career in adoption, Lori wrote 23: Voices of Adopted Youth, with the goal of harvesting wisdom from adoptees aged 15 to 26.  From extensive interviews, Lori presents the youth's experiences in their unique voices for a fresh and invaluable perspective of the adoptee experience. Lori preserves the integrity of the youth voices and the authenticity of their stories through digestible prose and comfortable rhythm.

23 reveals nuggets of valuable information with respect to any parent-child relationship and, particularly, for those including adoption. Lori hopes that 23: Voices of Adopted Youth will also become a valuable tool for clinicians, educators, and social workers who provide service to those who are connected to adoption.

About Lori Rosove (Author)


In 2001, Lori wrote Rosie's Family: An adoption story, when many of her adoptive parents were searching for a children's picture book to help them address the various issues they were experiencing with parenting. Rosie's Family covers differences in race and culture, challenges between birth and adoptive siblings, and adoptee confusion about birth parents. With sales in the tens of thousands, Lori is thrilled to know that so many children/families have enjoyed and benefited from the sage advice in Rosie's Family.  (To learn more about Rosie's Family, click here.)
