{"product_id":"in-the-best-interest-of-hopeful-9781998787104","title":"In the Best Interest of the Child: An Adoption Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Mr. and Mrs. Hopeful applied to adopt their own grandchild, they never imagined the process would be so difficult. This is a story about the obstacles non-indigenous family members face when trying to adopt mixed race children who are members of their own biological families. This book argues that these obstacles are unjust, causing distress to the families and the children. The issue of familial adoption of mixed heritage children should be looked at very closely because some First Nations bands' policies block such adoptions that could provide true permanency and care. People related to the child should not be taken away from the child. This is an area that needs judicial oversight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hopeful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998787109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998787104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mill Lake Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d","brand":"Hopeful","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442789167359,"sku":"9781998787104","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_313a6039-f94d-4a84-85ae-9b1c70c018f9.jpg?v=1777199782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-best-interest-of-hopeful-9781998787104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
