Kim, I think we ALL should write Dear Abby and educate her on how adoption has changed in the last 40 years. Wouldn't that be cool if both amoms and bmoms spoke up in unison?!!
I've seriously thought of writing a book throughout the years. I'm an editor by profession, so I do know some in's and out's of the trade. I've always been kind of hesitant to do it, however, because I hate upsetting anybody in my family. I'd have to write it under a pseudonym, I guess, to avoid my mother suing me for slander.
A lot of people, including adoption caseworkers, have asked me to write a book about my experiences with my son. But I haven't been able to wrap my head around that one... I feel like I would be invading his privacy in doing so. Which is kind of sad because there are no books that give any type of advice for bmoms in reuniting with young adoptees who have serious psychiatric and/or behavioral problems, including drug addiction. But I still think about it from time to time. I would only write a book on this topic if my son was 100-percent okay with it.
So until the books come out, ladies, we should bombard Dear Abby with some eye-opening letters! What do you all think??
