I absolutely loved this book!
"Family Family" is such a unique example of what family looks like and how a family is made and who makes up a family. The vast majority of this book is the why and how of India's life and her singular focus and the difficult decisions she makes along the way. It's those choices and the desires of India's heart that allows this grand adventure of family and adoption and honest conversations.
Frankel opened my eyes to a different side to adoption -- how both families (birth and adoptive) are equally lucky to take part of such an experience.
As someone who comes from an untraditional family, this story touched my heart in big ways. I absolutely loved the characters, especially the meddling kiddos.
