Heya,

I don’t know, it’s not TOO long…I don’t have it in front of me…but it’s a pretty short book. Yes, the woman who wrote it is an adoptive mother, and I dunno…it just seems to out there for me…she writes it as if EVERY adoptee should feel this way, and that all adoptees are some how scared from being placed in a home without their birthmother.

My library didn’t carry it, so you have to purchase it. Luckily a friend from this forum was kind enough to send it to me, so I didn’t have to buy it.

I’m not sure that its from “One persons perspective” I feel like she is writing it as she has the eternal answer to adoptees feelings…from what little I read, I got the feeling that she felt this was an across the board feeling, every adoptee felt torn/rejected, and those that didn’t were just kind suppressing it or denying it. I don’t k now…the part I read gave me the hebbie jebbies…

I really do want to finish it…but I think it may be some time before I want to pick it up again.
