By Joseph Sadusky
Every family has a story—but very few have one like Joseph Sadusky and his sons, Daveon and Mark. In Magic Lessons, Joe shares a look back as he, a single gay man, built his family through transracial adoption. In a lighthearted collection of stories and lessons learned, Joe humorously but honestly describes the process as he set out to adopt two older children, and what happened after they came together under one roof and became “us.” Joe details how often he was “amazed, aggravated, mind-blown, jaw-dropped, befuddled, exasperated, and awed” by his kids and by the players in their family story. Among these players are members of the majority—racial, cultural, and otherwise—who taught Joe many bewildering, if not outright painful, lessons about being “other.” Joe also reflects on his own mistakes made as he has ventured through the land of alt-parenthood. Magic Lessons is an essential read for anyone who is planning, or part of, any kind of alternative family structure.
