 parents are so amazing for adopting you. You should be grateful!'\n\nAngel
 a Tucker is a Black woman\, adopted from foster care by white parents. She
  has heard this microaggression her entire life\, usually from well-intent
 ioned strangers who view her adoptive parents as noble saviors.  She is gr
 ateful for many aspects of her life\, but being transracially adopted invo
 lves layers of rejection\, loss and complexity that cannot be summed up so
  easily. Tucker centers the experiences of adoptees through sharing deeply
  personal stories\, well-researched history and engrossing anecdotes from 
 mentorship sessions with adopted youth. These perspectives challenge the f
 airy-tale narrative of adoption giving way to a fuller story that includes
  the impacts of racism\, classism\, family\, love and belonging. \n\nFor m
