Description
Up-Rooted: Climbing Through Family Chaos details the conflict in T.J. Kyri's life, from marriage to adoption to divorce, despite being a conflict resolution professional. It describes her harrowing mission to adopt her older daughters from Ukraine and then blend them with her biological sons, one with special needs. Up-Rooted separates the fantasy from reality in adoption, as the abuse T.J.'s children suffered gets turned against her, Up-Rooting her from the family she fought to create. Up-Rooted shows the injustices of both the court system, as well as mediation, from the eyes of someone trained in both. While trying desperately to stay positive throughout the chaos, T.J. shows how to endure challenges and reclaim life.

Reviews
"Up-Rooted lets us in on a rollercoaster ride that goes places few adoptive parents could imagine. This raw, unabashed memoir does not sugarcoat the underbelly of parenting children with attachment disorders, but it does champion perseverance and love in the face of daunting circumstances. Strap in. Tighten your seat belt. Read it." --Tina Traster, author of Rescuing Julia Twice: A Mother's Tale of Russian Adoption and Overcoming Reactive Attachment Disorder
