Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-20 00:00:00 Thomas Tierney someday someone will write a book about adoption that reads true and unsentimental and scathing and loving and critical and grateful and real to those of us who have experienced it...someday...

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-18 00:00:00 John Gladman Having been adopted and having found my birth mother, I was intrigued by this book. It covers various seasons in an adoptees life and examines questions or actions of the adopted child. I found it to mirror many of the perspectives I have. I would highly recommend it to parents who have decided to adopt - it will help to understand the adoptee's perspective. By the way, I am extremely grateful for the parents who have raised me. I consider my birth mother to be a woman who made a terrifically difficult decision. I admire her courage. I am grateful to her. Yet, she is a stranger to me.
