BrandyHagz. Nancy Verrier is not saying that aparents don't have a role. In fact there is a whole section of the book devoted to trying to help adoptive parents to act in ways that will help them to bond successfully with their kids & to help them understand the various behaviours & reactions that may arise (+ how to cope).
The book is very big. However, it is perhaps better to read chunks that appeal to you or to just dip in & read little bits. Over time, you can move on to some other parts &, that way, you will get through the book in the end.
I know that I found this to be the best way for me to cope with reading "Coming Home to Self" and that it did help me to understand many things.
Some people misinterpret what is being said in the book. Perhaps Verrier should look at producing a set of smaller books made up of this one huge tome & phrase it in easier language so that more people "get" what is being said more easily.
I hope I don't get "crucified" for suggesting this. I realise that many people have strong feelings against the book. Nevertheless, IMHO, it is a worthwhile addition to the literature out there on adoption.
