Negative Positive
Title: Sad...
Review: As a mother of three children who were adopted (cross culturally), I found this book to be nothing more than a sad commentary on this woman's life. I doubt she would feel entirely positive about any biological children she might have had. I am glad she feels comfortable writing about her negative feelings, but am surprised it was published. The only useful purpose this book serves is to illustrate the sad fact that, unfortunately, not all people adopt for the right reasons, or make informed choices about the type of adoption/s they chose to have. For the sake of all involved, it is healthier to recognize that there are unique sets of issues that will be a part of any type of adoption, explore how one will deal with these issues, and resolve the many unresolved issues there often are for childless or infertile couples, BEFORE actually becoming a family through adoption.
Is the review positive or negative?
