Hello everyone, I read 'Another Place At The Table' a month ago and truely love it. I am now looking to buy it to read a few more times at a slower pace. The author is Kathy Harrison and it is dated 2003. I was a little shocked at reading some of the things she had in counter but at the same time, I am a little more prepared. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Hi everyone:

This question was posted in 2003 and people replied through 2005. I have found people's responses so interesting and I would love to see this question picked up again if people are willing.

I have also recently posted to the "research and surveys" section of the forums with an invitation to participate in my thesis survey in regard to what parents think of children's literature with the subject of adoption or with multicultural themes. If you would like to participate, click here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=746832657565

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Emily McLaughlin
