Review: An absolute MUST READ adoption resource - This is the best resource I have found as an adopted female. There were so many feelings addressed in this book I have felt as an adoptee and just didn't know how to express them until now. It explained a lot of my early childhood behaviors as well. The depth of understanding that this author offers made me feel less alone and like I'm not insane for feeling the way I do. I only wish I had found this resource sooner. A MUST READ for any adoptive parent, adoptee or therapist!!
Review: Must read for anyone adopting or adopted. - Anybody that is on any side of the adoption ring, should read this very informative book!! WoW so many answers! to so many behaviors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Required Reading for Adoptive Parents and Adoptees Alike
*by C***E on September 28, 2025*

Thank you for writing this book. Hopefully it will lead to some more scientific research on the topic. Coming from an adoptee who is pro-abortion and strongly anti-adoption except in absolutely necessary cases, I found this book validating. Disturbing that it took this many generations to come to awareness of something that seems like it should be common sense to any human with a mother: taking babies away from their mothers creates trauma. Make birth control widely accessible to everyone. Make abortion accessible until fetal viability. Support young women who need help keeping their babies. Adoption should be a last resort and understood as the traumatic experience it is. Read this book and support the adoptee in recovering from the grief and loss. Quality paperback. Quick delivery. My apologies to any Amazon workers driven to exhaustion by my prime order. Hoping for improved work environment for all workers. Down with oligarch greed.
