Rich, poignant stories of adoption from courageous birth parents who have made an agonizing life choice for another, who had no voice in the decision. Dramatic and amazing stories from adoptees about the search for their roots, the countless emotional impacts of being adopted, and some of what they've learned from their lives. Beautiful, at times heart-wrenching, personal experiences from both closed and open adoptions. An essential read for not only the adoption "triad" (birth parents, adoptees, and adoptive parents) but for adoption professionals and legislators who address adoption issues.
