Book Reviews of Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother
Book Review: She writes honestly
Summary: 5 Stars
It'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 more that gets past down to the child (children). It's all about them or is it??? At least there is someone who wants to help the rest of us and recognize that there is more then just the "poor poor birthmom" involved here.
Summary of Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother
This fiercely honest and funny book answers questions no one else dares to ask: What if I don't like the kid I get? 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.Adoption Books
