I didn't see it as a negative per se, I saw it as a reflection on the way adoption used to be done and the impact adoption pre-1990 had on children. My feeling was that most of us know the positives of adoption, but don't know enough of the negatives. I felt not knowing the negatives meant that I may inadvertently repeat them. Still, if you're looking for an upbeat positive spin on adoption, this book isn't the one. If you're like me and need to know the negatives to process the positives, this is a good book. it just shouldn't be the only book on adoption you read, imho.
