Will my child ever feel like mine? If this is the happiest day of my life, why am I so sad? Will she want the baby back? Will I want to return him? The book garnered rave reviews from Betty Jean Lifton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cathy Guisewite, Adoptive Families of America, San Francisco Chronicle, and hundreds of readers. New, revised edition now in paper. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - FantasticI tore through her book and read many passages out loud to my husband who seemed to also appreciate her perspective. I took it for that - her perspective. An open and shockingly honest portrayal of her emotions and thoughts throughout her adoption experience. I've already loaned it to a friend. What I was most thankful for was that someone had the courage to say what many of us think at different times during the adoption process. Sure, not everything applied to my experience, but I didn't expect ... Read More Rating: - She writes honestlyIt's just nice to hear something from adoptive moms. It's like we are not allowed to have any feelings.."after all we got what we wanted..a child". The poor poor birth mom and what she is going through or has been through. There is alot of mixed emotions out their and it was awfully nice of this adoptive mom to put herself on the chopping block with her own story. I am an adoptive mom and I have to say it's hard to get support from agencies and some websites. The more unresolved issues we have the ... Read More Rating: - InterestingI bought this book expecting to be offended and angry after reading it. As a birthmother myself, I had been warned that I would be reading some pretty harsh stuff. I was actually quite surprised that I was not offended at all. What I found upon reading this book is how similar birthmothers and adoptive mothers are. I have learned from some very intelligent birthmothers, who are also adoption counselors, to step back and look at how much infertility and unplanned pregnancy are so similar. We face ... Read More Rating: - Must-ReadThis book is a must-read for people planning to adopt, and those who have adopted and are still adjusting. There are a lot of feelings and fears that most people won't talk about during the adoption process, but they are there and they are real, and this author explores them. Rating: - This book is not for those that expect Adoptive Moms to be perfectionThis is one of the books I tell any perspective adoptive Mom to read....the entire adoption process is at times frustrating and mind boggling. There are plenty of other great books that explain adoption ethics, respect for birthfamilies, the emotional loss of the adoptee, and how to make sure that you are supportive of the needs of the adopted child. This book is strictly for women who want to vent and don't feel there is anywhere "safe" enough to let it all hang out, and don't even like that ... Read More
