• Over 70,000 children in foster care in Poland.

Marta Wroniszewska's book is an insightful look at adoption and foster care in Poland. The author gives a voice to children who struggle with difficulties, seek their place in the world and long for love. It is also a story about adoptive families who face challenges that outsiders often have no idea about. This report is an attempt to understand a complex system that often fails those who need help the most.

The author talks to adopted children, adoptive parents, foster families and former orphanage children. She listens to their stories, tries to understand their perspective and give a voice to those who are usually overlooked. The book also includes conversations with people who are looking for their biological parents, mothers who have lost their parental rights, as well as employees of institutions and social activists. It is a multi-voiced story about adoption and foster care in Poland, which encourages reflection and change.

Marta Wroniszewska patiently peels adoption and foster care from the common notions of "orphans" and their "saviors". From social fantasies about the insignificance of the past, about new beginnings and the division into true and untrue mothers. What we find when we get to the middle, however, is not emptiness, but a bittersweet core. Hard and at the same time perfectly ambiguous. This is not a book for those who expect a soothing story that love will heal every wound and everything will have a happy ending. It is a book for those who - open to doubts and difficult questions - will also be ready to accept the hope contained in it.
