It would be "Coming Home to Self - the adopted child grows up" by Nancy Verrier. After giving us insight into how adoption affects adoptees, it then goes on to how to help your adult son/daughter move on from the defense mechanisms that (could be) affecting them from better relationships. It also covers areas such as meeting siblings; to me, it certainly is a good all rounder, although it encourages you to look at The Primal Wound to better understand what is going on.

It revolutionised my understanding of the issues going on in with my son and enhanced our relationship a 1000 fold.
