New CD of Songs Explores Adoption Issues, Celebrates Adoptive Families
Wednesday November 19, 7:46 am ET


EVANSTON, Ill., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- "Same/Same," a new CD of original songs
for adoptive families, has just been released by Chicago-area singer/songwriter
Chuck Kent. Kent and his wife Debra have two children, both born in China.
The 11 songs on the album aim to fill a void in the music currently available
with adoption-related themes. "There are a number of songs out there about the
joy of becoming a family through adoption," said Kent, "but I wanted to create
a collection that speaks to the wider range of feelings and questions my kids
have."

Adoption professionals are welcoming the album. Jane Turner, head of the China
Program at Family Resource Center, a Chicago-based adoption agency serving
families across America, said, "This really fills a need in the adoption
community with words that touch the hearts of adoptive families. I think it
will be a great way to start conversations between kids and parents."

The title track on the album, "Same/Same," is based on a popular approach to
reinforcing family bonds. "In any adoptive family, and especially transracial
families like ours, it's important to take the notion of family identity beyond
physical similarities and emphasize all of the things you have in common," said
Debra Kent, whose research into adoption issues on behalf of her own family
formed the basis for many of the songs. "For instance, we might say `Hey, you
like ice cream and so do I -- we're same/same!'" The themes of other songs
range from helping kids respond to questions about their "real" families to
helping them think about their birthparents.

"I've been pleased and even surprised at how well my kids have responded to the
songs," said Kent. "They not only like the silly, up-tempo tunes, but also ask
to hear the more serious, `grown up' songs." Samples of the songs and more
information can be found online at www.samesameCD.com.
