AARRGGGHHH!
It is so frustrating to me that only the negative stories about adoption get any publicity. I agree with the poster who said (I'm paraphrasing) that a publisher would have an easier time advancing a book about the evils of adoption than one about how great it can be.
Same reason why soap operas are so popular.
Please know that you will not hear about all of the adoptees who grew up completely and totally sane, normal and well-adjusted for the simple fact that most of them would never even think about writing a book or posting on internet forums about their experience. It is a non-issue. I know that I personally wouldn't even be on this board if I hadn't seriously thought about adopting a child.
Don't stress about books like this. No matter how many books you read, it will never fully prepare you on how to be a parent, whether adoptive or not. Just do the best you can. Your baby was not born with an automatic sense of abandonment.
Good luck.
