At last I'm starting get somewhere!, 22 Jun 2000
By A Customer
I've just ordered this book cos I want my adoptive mother to read it, even though I'm half way through my own copy (bought elsewhere- sorry Amazon!). I think it'll stop her asking herself "where she went wrong"! Though I'm sure it could be difficult reading.As a 25 year old adoptee, I figured I'd nobly managed to get to adulthood without having to go looking for my birthparents, or otherwise getting hung up on my adoption. This book has shown me that even though I don't wake up each morning cursing my natural parents for deserting me, the latent grief felt as a baby, when I couldn't put words to it, affects me and partly accounts for some of my traits. I'd recommend this book to any adoptee, whether you think you really care about having been adopted or not. It's not about regaining the past, or falling back on a second set of parents. It's about jogging your memory and trying to remember the person you started out life as, so that hopefully you can put a more tangible mental link between your birth and childhood.
