reviewed Journey of the Adopted Self: A Quest for Wholeness on June 09, 2009
Journey of the Adopted Self
I was advised to read this (because it was by a professor at Yale???) after being reunited with my son who I had had to give up for adoption when I was 20. (What a glorious day it was to hear his voice and meet him!) The year that followed was an emotional rollercoaster: It was so very painful (I cried for months) yet simultaneously glorious (I couldn't wipe the grin off my face.).
That being said, I found this book to be totally presumptive. I don't think anyone can take an emotional process and turn it into an equation. That's what being a human being is all about.
