My favs are The Open Adoption Handbook by B Rappaport and Dear Birthmother by K Silber. I also simply loved reading Dear Barbara, Dear Lynne by Barbara Shulgold and Lynne Sipiora; this book chronicles the letters back and forth between two waiting amoms, so eloquent and engaging (and has a good ending -- non fiction). A lot of people like The Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mom, but I think it is way too judgmental and out of date in a way; made me sad 'cause of the self-centeredness (IMHO) of the writer -- she wanted what she wanted and didn't understand adoption at times. Just my thoughts 0-- susan
