This is a short book for adopted young people, giving them the basic information they need to know.

This book is designed to encompass many key issues around adoption in a light hearted conversational style. I have deliberately kept the book short and focused in order to encourage a young person to utilise this as a tool, and to take on board information.

The book is written by an adopted person who has experienced all of these issues first hand. A number of young people going through these issues have also made contributions.

This book covers:

• Understanding adoption, the underlying issues and the common feelings and thoughts of adopted young people
• Identity and adoption, developing a positive view of self
• The adoptive family and associated issues
• Tracing - finding your birth family
• Making contact with birth parents
• Social media
