Weaving a Family: Genetics, Identity and Adoption By Rosanna Landis Weaver Kindle Edition Weaving a Family: Genetics, Identity and Adoption Rosanna Landis Weaver explores the latest research on genetics and personality from the perspective of her own experience as an adoptive mother. In Weaving a Family: Genetics, Identity and Adoption, she ponders both science and parenting from a place of love and curiosity. Both families linked by biology and those that include non genetically related children will appreciate the fascinating questions of nature and nurture. Weavers accessible explanations of scientific studies are the context for a story about how we become ourselves, and the understanding that begins with science but is illuminated by love. New York Times best selling author Louis Bayard says the book “conveys complex information in lucid terms” and describes it as “a dose of encouragement. Being an adoptive parent, its nice to be reminded that a lot of the challenges our kids face are not necessarily ‘our fault’ but part of their genetic journey.” And adds, I learned so damn much from this, and the fact that Weaver could convey such complex information in such lucid terms speaks to her gift for communication.
