Wanting a child
Now that the bookshelves and bedside and coffee tables are littered with books with titles such as Transracial Adoption, It’s all good hair, The Baby Whisperer, Happy Baby, as well as folktales of African American lore – do we begin again to buy books about Bulgarian Gypsies? Or maybe just books about other people who want a child and can’t have one?
I’ve run out of steam riding this wave and now that I’ve crashed into the surf, the energy to get back on the board is daunting. But more books – please – we don’t have room for another shelf full of voices telling us this, that, and nothing.
