The goal is to educate families, communities, the media and the society and encourage more Filipino families to consider adoption. It is aimed to lessen the stigma on adoption. “Love Sees Beyond Differences” is an advocacy campaign led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Inter-country Adoption Board (ICAB) and McCann Philippines. This causes a lot of stress to both to parents and the child. And sometimes, they get taunted just because they were adopted. We have heard stories one way or another, of an adopted child going rebellious upon learning the truth of his or her place in the family. There’s a lot of stigma in relation to adoption, especially in the Philippines. It is a great tool for adoptive parents in telling their adopted kids that they were, adopted. The eBook consists of 7 heart-warming stories, colorfully illustrated to capture the attention of every kids. It was the launch of the “ I Love You Anak” eBook, the first ever Filipino written and illustrated eBook on adoption launched by the DSWD and ICAB as part of “ Love Sees Beyond Differences” adoption advocacy campaign. As read on the Bible, under the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 7, “Love puts up with all things, trusts in all things, hopes for all things, endures all things.” Last Friday, through testimonies and storytelling, I was able to witness this kind of love at the Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street.
