Allison Olsen - An Author, Adoptee and Adoptive Parent

Allison Olson is a notable figure in the world of children's literature, particularly known for her authentic and heartfelt approach to adoption narratives. As both an adoptee and an adoptive parent, Allison brings a deeply personal and insightful perspective to her work. Her motivation to become a children's book author stemmed from a desire to challenge and transform the traditional narratives found in children’s books about adoption. Her goal is to shift the narrative from the notion of an adopted child being merely “lucky” to being deeply “loved.” This vision is beautifully encapsulated in her books, such as "Surrounded by Love: An Open Adoption Story," which has received accolades including the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Silver Award and recognition as a Mom’s Choice Awards® recipient. Her work is not only celebrated but critically acclaimed, with positive reviews from respected sources like Kirkus Review. Allison's books, including "Learning about My Friend's Adoption," are available on Amazon and are a testament to her commitment to presenting adoption in a more inclusive, realistic, and positive light. Her influence extends beyond her published works. She maintains an active online presence through her website, ouradoptionbooks.com, and social media channels including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok under the handle @kidsbooksbyallisonolson. Her expertise and insights into the adoption experience are further shared through her participation in various podcasts such as "2 Adoptive Mamas", "Adoption The Long View", "Funding Love", "The Adoption Wait", and "The Thriving Adoptee". Additionally, Allison contributes to the dialogue around adoption through her blog posts on platforms like "Love What Matters" and "What Adoptees Wish Adoptive Parents Knew". Allison Olson's work stands out not just for its literary quality, but also for its profound impact in reshaping perceptions and discussions around adoption, making her a distinguished author and advocate in the field. www.ouradoptionbooks.com Kirkus Review Books: Surrounded by Love: An Open Adoption Story on Amazon Learning about My Friend's Adoption on Amazon Follow @kidsbooksbyallisonolson on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok Links to Podcast Recordings (2 Adoptive Mamas, Adoption The Long View, Funding Love, The Adoption Wait, The Thriving Adoptee) Links to Blog Posts (Love What Matters, What Adoptees Wish Adoptive Parents Knew)Are you Pregnant?
